LEFTOVER HAM BONE SOUP

Steps:

• Place all chopped vegetables in crockpot and top with ham bone. I had to rearrange the vegetables a bit to actually get the lid to close on my crock pot. Add water until almost full. Add spices and mix around. Cook on high for 4-6 hours, or low for 6-8 hours. Take ham bone out with tongs and use a slotted spoon to pick out any fragments that may have fallen off the bone. Put back any usable meat off the bone. Toss in cubed leftover ham for more meat.
