Slower Cooker Ham and Potato Soup

By srumbel

I truly love potato soup, it’s so comforting! One of my very best friends made this delicious Ham and Potato soup for me for lunch one day! It was a chilly day and this warmed me from the inside out! (Thanks Dee, you’re the best)!

Since then, I’ve made this soup so many times. It’s always delicious and never lasts long around here! This is one of those soups that is fabulous the first day just as amazing leftover… (and any time I can cook once, eat twice is a good thing around here)!

Ingredients

• 7 cups potatoes, diced
• 1 medium onion diced
• 1 large carrot, chopped
• 2-3 cups ham, diced
• 2 teaspoons parsley
• 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
• pepper to taste
• 5 cups Ready to Serve Chicken Broth (I use low sodium)
• 1 cup 2% milk
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• Pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Add diced potatoes, onion, carrot, ham, thyme, parsley, pepper & broth to a crock pot.
Cook on low 7 hours, or high 3 hours.
Remove 2-3 cups of the potatoes/carrots and mash, then return the mashed mixture to the crock pot.
Add milk and sour cream. Stir and cook an additional 15 minutes. Add pepper to taste. Makes twelve 1-cup servings.
Be sure not to let your dairy cook longer than 15 minutes as diary can curdle if the temperature is too high. Once you add the milk and sour cream, you just want to make sure everything is heated through.
