Zucchini Question

Ok, my crock pot friends - I want to use up some zucchini and other veggies (fresh from a friend's garden) in a soup but I don't want to puree that zucchini - no problem there, I expect. As for a base, I don't feel like using my chicken pieces and picking chicken off of bones - can I use a ham bone (with lots of meat on it) with the zucchini and veggies? In other words, will the ham blend okay with the zucchini? In my mind, zucchini will happily mix with just about anything, right?
