I made a soup last year with the ham bone that was good, but not great. I wanted more to it. I set out to find a new recipe and came across this one. I changed mine some so I'll list my directions below.

Ingredients
1 ham bone with some meat
1 onion, diced
14 oz diced tomatoes - I used fresh picked from the garden
8 oz dried navy beans
3 potatoes, cubed
1 green bell pepper, seeded and cubed
6 cups chicken broth
Directions
1.Place the ham bone, onion, tomatoes, kidney beans, potatoes, and green pepper into a 3 quart or larger slow cooker. Dissolve the bouillon cubes in water, and pour into the slow cooker.
2.Cover, and cook on low for 8 hours.
I used navy beans since that's what I had on hand. I also used dried over canned since they hold up better in the slow cooker. Because I used dried I also upped the amount of liquid.
I don't have a picture of the finished product, but it's also one of those that doesn't photograph well. This soup turned out amazing though. I probably could have gone back for seconds. It had great flavor from the ham and was thick and hearty.
