Instructions
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened and slightly golden.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Remove from heat.
In a large crock pot, add the sautéed vegetables, diced ham, cannellini beans, and chopped collard greens.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine.
Add smoked paprika, dried thyme, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to distribute seasonings evenly.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set to cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours. Stir occasionally, if possible.
Once the cooking time is complete, remove the bay leaves and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
Serve the soup hot with crusty bread or cornbread on the side for a complete meal.
