Potato soup was never easier to make. Cook it in the slow cooker with chunks of potatoes and chopped ham, and serve it with a side salad and crusty bread. It's a warm, satisfying and comforting soup.
8 c. roughly mashed or smashed potatoes, leaving some chunks (leftovers work great)
3 c. cooked ham, chopped small (leftovers work great)
2-4 c. milk (or half & half)
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Garnish:
chopped green onion, optional
Line the inside of the crock with a slow cooker liner for easy clean up.
Combine potatoes and ham in the slow cooker; pour enough milk into slow cooker to almost cover; stir or smash with a heavy spoon to combine. Cover; cook on Low for 4 hours or High for 2 hours.
Stir and lightly smash any large potato chunks. Season generously with salt and pepper, to taste.
Cover; cook for 1-3 hours on Low. Add milk as desired to thin the soup to desired thickness.
Serve garnished with chopped green onion and with a salad and a crusty bread, for dipping, if desired.
8 servings.
