This was so easy and had an awesome touch of sweetness to it that I’m not used to in bean soup. I think it was choosing a honey ham and using baby carrots that made the difference. The liquid smoke was also a nice touch. Throwing something in the slow cooker and forgetting [...]

1 & 1/2 lbs lean ground turkey, browned and drained
1 large sweet yellow [...]
