This soup has layers of flavor that will produce a delicious soup filled with wild rice, vegetables and country ham, it is a complete meal! Slow Cooker Ham and Rice Soup just simmering all day to develop fantastic flavor and ready for the family at the end of the day!

Lets Make Some Soup

I like to start this soup with our left over ham from the holidays. I like to take the left over ham and package it in freezer bags with 3 cups of chopped leftover ham, then freeze it. Then I have some wonderful ham for soups and casseroles, with that flavor that you can only get from a baked ham. The Ham Bone is frozen in a freezer bag and you will see it in a pot of beans later on!

Baked Country Ham

Our first layer of flavor is the leftover ham from my freezer bags,

 then adding some wonderful vegetables.

Next We Will Mix In The Wild Rice
