HAM, corn, bean and barley soup (crockpot)

I had an Appleton Farms ham from Aldi's for Christmas dinner.   I was a bit disappointed in the ham because it had such a huge bone and so much fat on it.

I took most of the ham off the bone and put it in the crockpot and put water over it, and cooked on high for a couple of hours.  Then I took the bone out and took the meat off of it and set it aside.

To the stock or broth (I am not sure what to call it) I added some barley and let that cook on low for a half hour or forty minutes.  Then I added some corn.  I blended up a can of white kidney beans along with a couple of tbsps of ketchup in the blender and added that, and I also added one envelope of SAZON GOYA and a bay leaf.  Let it cook on low for a while and added the ham.

It seemed much too liquidy for me so I took some GRANDS biscuts, cut into fourths and set on top to make dumplings.  Sprinkled dill on top.  Cooked on low for close to an hour and tested the dumplings and they were just fine.

THIS SOUP IS DELICIOUS!!!!!!!
