Transform leftover ham into a delicious slow cooker soup, effortlessly prepared for a hearty dinner.
Ingredients:
  • 8 cups warm water, or more as needed
  • 4 cubes chicken bouillon
  • 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (10 ounce) ham bone with meat
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 cup cubed leftover ham, or more to taste
  • 1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni, or more to taste
Instructions:
  • In a slow cooker, mix 8 cups of water and bouillon cubes until dissolved. Add tomatoes, beans, ham bone, potatoes, onion, and leftover ham. Cook on Low for about 8 hours until ham is tender. Adjust the saltiness by tasting and adding an extra cup of water if needed.
  • Once the soup is nearing completion, prepare a pot of generously salted boiling water. Cook the elbow macaroni in the bubbling water, stirring occasionally, until al dente, approximately 8 minutes.
  • Add the drained macaroni to the soup to your liking.
  • Take out the ham bone, shred the meat, discard the bone, mix the shredded meat back into the soup, stir well, and serve.
