Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked ham , diced into small cubes (I buy already cooked diced ham)

- 2-3 carrots , peeled and diced ( I also like to buy the shredded carrots to save time)
- 2 celery stalks , diced
- 2-4 Jalapenos (diced or sliced)

Instructions
CROCKPOT INSTRUCTIONS:
- Add everything to a crockpot EXCEPT for the cream. Cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 8 hours.
- NOTE: If you add only 2 jalapenos it will not be spicy, but will give the soup a jalapeno taste. If you want more spice add 3 or 4.
- The last hour add in the heavy cream. Cook for another hour.
- Top with chopped green onions
STOVETOP INSTRUCTIONS:
- Heat 1 tbs of oil or butter on stove.
