Crockpot Slow Cooker Ham Recipes: Ham Potato Soup Recipe

[Barbara G.]

Ingredients

6-7 C diced potatoes
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
2 C ham, chopped
1-2 C celery, diced
1-2 C carrots, chopped
3 C chicken broth
3-4 C cauliflower
2 C milk
*optional:
4-8oz cream cheese for added creaminess
shredded cheese for topping

Instructions

1. Chop/dice vegetables and meat. You'll need at least 3-4+ large russet potatoes or 5-8+ red potatoes (depending on size). Wash & peel those; then dice (the smaller the chunks, the faster the cooking time).
2. Add potatoes to the slow cooker. Then, add the chopped ham, celery, carrots, and onion.
3. Pour the chicken broth over the mixture and cook on high for 2-4 hours or low for 6-8. Check the tenderness of the potatoes.
4. Once the potatoes are fork tender, cook the cauliflower (I just use a bag of frozen cauliflower & cook the microwave). While the cauliflower cooks, use a potato masher to mash the potatoes in the crock pot.
5. Add the cooked cauliflower & ½ C water or milk to a blender/food processor and puree.
6. Add the cauliflower puree and 2 C of milk to the slower cooker. Stir until combined. Let cook an additional 10-20 minutes and serve!
