Ingredients
8 cups russet potatoes, diced
1 yellow onion, diced
2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup chopped celery
16 oz cubed ham (2 packs Smithfield Anytime Favorites™)
1 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
4 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 cups heavy cream (or whole milk)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup flour
Instructions
Add potatoes, onion, carrots, celery, ham, salt, pepper, and chicken broth to a slow cooker.
→ Cook on LOW for 7–8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours.
Use a potato masher to mash about 1/3 of the cooked potatoes (it’ll naturally thicken the soup).
Stir in flour, heavy cream or milk, and sour cream until smooth.
Cover and cook on HIGH for another 15 minutes to thicken further.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley, cheese, or bacon if desired.
