Sweet Potato and Ham Soup

I went to lunch today with a good friend of mine and we had incredible soup! It was a great day for it because the weather is cold. The fog is crawling down the mountains and the contrasting blue sky above is breath taking. We sat and talked like girls over our soup and salad. Anyhow the soup was so good I ran home and this is what I put together............Trust me it is good.

3 quarts of water
1 slice of thick-cut ham diced
Place in a dutch oven and turn on medium heat

Meanwhile, add these to your pot of water

3 Mexican green onions, sliced
3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in chunks

2 T parsley flakes

Bring to a low boil for 45 minutes.
