Ham Bone Soup

We had a ham for Easter and decided that we couldn't let the ham bone go to waste. So I threw it in the crockpot and made this soup.

One ham bone (mine still had some meat on it)

1 medium onion, chopped

3 stalks celery, chopped

4 large carrots, chopped

1 large head cauliflower, chopped

1 1/2 cups sweet potato, chopped

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp pepper

2 bay leaves

water to fill your crockpot

leftover ham, diced

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.
