WW Recipe of the Day: Crock Pot Leftover Ham Bone Soup

This crock pot leftover ham bone soup is an easy and delicious way to use up a holiday ham bone. Load your slow cooker and let it do all the work while you get on with your day.

If you didn't have ham for Thanksgiving, add it to your menu for Christmas or New Years so you can make a pot. Or save it for Easter, another important holiday that often includes ham.
