Ham and Vegetable Soup (crock pot or stove top)

A guest post from our customer Laura:

I was looking for a hearty soup to make today to keep my cold Florida body warm.  (It was in the 50s today!)  This was super duper easy and used one of my favorite appliances – the crockpot!

Ingredients:

1/2 head of cabbage

7 cups chicken broth (boxed, canned or homemade)

1 zucchini, diced

1 head of broccolini, chopped

20 mini carrots

1 ham bone

1 ham steak, chopped into bite sized pieces

salt, pepper

1 bay leaf

Place all ingredients in the slow cooker.  Add bay leaf for two hours, then toss out.  Cook on low all day.  Approx. 6-8 hours.
