Ingredients

  • 1 ham bone with meat
  • 45 oz frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, corn, green beans, peas, and lima beans) 3 (15 oz) bags
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 tsp pepper
  • 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 tbsp green Tabasco sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups tomato juice
  • 6 oz can tomato paste
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • enough water to cover the top of the vegetables

Instructions

  • Place ham bone in the slow cooker
  • Add vegetables, bay leaf, pepper and diced tomatoes
  • Stir together tabasco, tomato juice, tomato paste and chicken broth until blended
  • Add to slow cooker and top with just enough water to cover the top of the vegetables
  • Cook 8 hours on low, pull meat from bone and stir into soup before serving.

Notes

Recipe Tips:
  • Honey-baked ham. If you have a bone from a honey-baked ham, the sugary crust and top layer of fat aren’t amazing in soup, so be sure to trim it off beforehand. 
  • Adjust salt to taste. Between the chicken stock and tomato juice, I find this vegetable ham soup doesn’t need any additional salt. For the best results, hold off on salt until you taste the soup at the end.
