Ham Bone Soup

I have been trying to make room in the kitchen freezer for a turkey, so more use it up cooking!  I always keep vegetable peelings in plastic containers for just this project.  I also had a ham bone in the freezer.  Both came out, and went into the crockpot over night.  The peelings contained onion skins, celery ends and carrot tops.

The meat just fell off the bone.  I strained the broth, saving every bit of meat, and added ground pepper, chopped onion, corn, lima beans and two cans of small white beans rinsed.  Here is the final result 6 hours later.  Gpa P said it was a winner!
