Country Kitchen Calico Bean Soup image

Yum! This soup couldn't be any easier to make! The hardest part is chopping the ham, onions, and celery...and how hard can that be? This is almost exactly like a soup which was served at a local Country Kitchen restaurant that closed several years ago. Enjoy!

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. The beans were tender and the vegetables were still slightly crunchy.

The soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding a bit of cream.
