Quick Homemade Ham and Bean Soup

We are deep into the winter months and nothing is more cozy and delicious than a hearty homemade soup.  I love this soup, Quick Homemade Ham and Bean Soup, and especially when it is served with homemade cornbread and sweet honey butter.  You can whip this up in a hot minute and serve right away.  The best part: it is even better on Day 2!

A slow cooker isn't needed as the use of some of convenience foods makes this a quick meal for even a weekday meal.  It's warm and filling.  Confession: I use leftover ham when I can to make this soup but when I can't I look for packaged precut ham in my grocery store.  Take a look at the other hearty and homemade soups made by bloggers just for this event.
