Cover crock-pot and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours.

Shift cooker to low setting and cook for about 5 additional hours.
About 30 to 40 minutes before end of cooking time, remove bay leaves; mash some of the beans against the side of the liner to thicken the soup slightly; add the reserved ham cubes and sliced green onions.
