This soup is a great way to use up leftover ham. It's also a very affordable meal to make. I usually use dried beans, which are much cheaper than canned beans. The soup is also very easy to make. I just throw all of the ingredients in my slow cooker

I've made this soup several times and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I usually add some extra vegetables to the soup, such as carrots, celery, and onion, to make it even more hearty.
