How to make Crockpot Potato and Ham Soup
Turn your slow cooker on high, and add the chicken broth.
Peel the potatoes, and dice, or chop them up in bite size pieces.
Add the potatoes to the chicken broth. Chop the onions and add it to the slow cooker.
Add the minced garlic, and diced ham.
Add the garlic salt, seasoned salt. and seasoned pepper. Stir well, and add enough filtered or bottled water to cover the potatoes.
Place the lid on the slow cooker, and leave on the high setting for at least 4 hours.
When the soup starts to bubble, or lightly boil, let it boil for about 30 minutes, and turn the setting to low.
Leave the soup cooking for about 2 more hours, or until the potatoes are tender. If it’s done, turn it to the keep warm setting.
About 30 minutes before you’re ready to serve the soup, add the cream, and stir well.
You can mash up a few of the potatoes, and leave some in pieces, for a chunky texture, or if you like the soup smooth, you can use an immersion blender, and blend the soup to a more creamy texture.
