Slow Cooker Calico Bean Soup image

This very hearty soup is easy and can be adjusted depending on what meat bones you may have on hand. This is a great way to use up any left over roast from a previous meal. We used a bone from a leg of lamb and a beef rib roast originally cooked on the charcoal grill for a family holiday celebration, and the flavor was extraordinarily rich. Serve with crusty bread.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover beans. I also added some chopped leftover ham and it was delicious!

I thought this soup was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland and the beans were a bit too mushy.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out great. I especially liked the addition of the cornbread crumbs.
