2. Add the beans to the slow cooker.
3. Add the diced ham.

Recipe Notes

• No soaking is required, but soaking beans overnight can reduce cooking time.
• Add garlic, onion, or bay leaf for extra flavor.
• For a thicker soup, mash some of the beans before serving.
• A leftover ham bone adds even more flavor if you have one.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
