For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially or fully blend the soup before serving. If you don't have a ham bone, you can use smoked ham hocks or cubed ham instead. Adjust the amount of salt accordingly, as ham can be quite salty. This soup can be made in a slow cooker. Combine all ingredients in the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
