For safety, after the soup cooled below 135°F, it should have been refrigerated within 2 hours. Then it would have had another 4 hours to get to 40°F.

You missed the recommended time frame of getting the food to 40°F by 6 hours and you exceeded the maximum cumulative exposure time above 70°F for just about any pathogenic bacteria that's out there. Now the fact that the soup was cooked might have eliminated them - or it might not. Additionally, normal cooking does not eliminate bacterial spores - which will then grow when the soup cools. If that has happened, and you reheat the soup - any toxins that have formed may or may not be destroyed.

So, without tests, no one can tell you it is safe to eat and no food safety person would tell you that it is. The decision is up to you.

CAN YOU COOK A PRECOOKED HAM IN A CROCK POT?

You can, but I don't see why you would want to cook a precooked ham. If you want to add more flavor, try a glaze and baking it in the oven rather than cooking it again. Also, by cooking it in liquid in a crock pot you may lose some of the smoked flavour.
