8 ounces lean ham, cubed
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
2 stalks celery, chopped (about 1/2 cup)

Ideal slow cooker size: 5- to 6-Quart. (I used my new InstantPot)

Scrape the mixture into your slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours, until the vegetables are tender.
Taste and add more salt and pepper as necessary.
