Description

Use those left over potatoes and ham to make a warm, comforting soup. It's easy in the crockpot and uses things that you probably already have at home. Serve it with crusty bread and a salad.

Ingredients

• 8 c. leftover smashed or roughly mashed potatoes
• 3 c. cooked ham chopped small
• 2-4 cups milk
• 1 t. kosher salt, to taste
• freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps

1. Combine potatoes and ham in the crockpot. Pour enough milk into the crockpot to almost cover potatoes; stir or smash with a heavy spoon or masher to combine; cover; cook on LOW 4 hours or HIGH 2 hours. Stir; lightly smash any large chunks of potato. Season generously with salt and pepper; taste; adjust seasonings as needed. Cover; cook 1-3 on LOW. Add more milk to thin the soup to desired thickness.
2. Serve with crusty bread and a side salad.
3. 8 servings.
