On a cold night the perfect meal to have is slow cooker ham and potato soup! It’s so easy to make and it’s pure comfort food.
Ingredients
- (2 cups, cubed and diced) Boneless Smoked Half Ham
- 2.5 lbs. potatoes around 15 medium potatoes, cubed
- 1 stalk celery diced
- 1 small onion diced
- 1 cup sliced carrots 2 medium carrots
- (3 cups) Chicken Stock
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1⁄2 cup sour cream
Directions
- Place the potatoes, onion, celery, carrots, ham, all spices, bay leaves and chicken broth in the slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
- Once the potatoes are fork tender stir the cornstarch into the heavy cream until there are no lumps left
- Pour the heavy cream mixture into the slow cooker, add the mustard and the sour cream and cook another 25 minutes on high. (If you want the soup to be even thicker mash around 3⁄4 of the potatoes and the vegetables with a potato masher)
- Add salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if wanted.
Notes
Note 1: if you want the potatoes to hold their shape use Yukon Gold potatoes. If you like it thicker and more like mashed potatoes use something like russet potatoes.
Note 2: You can use milk instead of the heavy cream if you want to save some calories. Tastes also great with sausages or hot dogs instead of ham.
