Slow Cooker Ham and Potato Soup 😋😍🍲

#INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup chopped celery 🌿

8 cups russet potatoes, diced 🥔

1 yellow onion, diced 🧅

16 ounces of cubed ham

2 large carrots, peeled and chopped

1 1/2 cups heavy cream (or substitute with whole milk)

4 cups chicken broth

1 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper

1/4 cup flour

1/2 cup sour cream

Begin by adding the diced potatoes, chopped celery, carrots, diced onion, cubed ham, Kosher salt, and black pepper into your slow cooker. Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring all the ingredients are submerged.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded beautifully.

Once the cooking time is nearly complete, use a potato masher to mash about a third of the potatoes right in the slow cooker. This step will thicken the soup and add a rustic texture, but don’t worry—your ham will remain in hearty chunks.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, heavy cream (or milk), and sour cream until smooth. Stir this mixture into the soup, ensuring it is well incorporated.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the soup to thicken and become creamy. #delicioussoup #sugarfree #recipe
