Description

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.

Ingredients

• 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

Steps

1. Line the inside of the crock with a slow cooker liner for easy clean up.
2. 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.
3. Stir and lightly smash any large potato chunks. Season generously with salt and pepper, to taste.
