I started this recipe with the idea to use up leftover holiday ham. But instead, I’ve found myself buying ham specifically to make this soup! It doesn’t sound like much, but it’s incredibly satisfying. I think the recipe dates as far back as the Great Depression. So I wanted to start the same concept but with a bit more flavor and protein added. Enter some ham, veggies, and cream in place of the milk to make a comforting soup you’ll want to make again and again!
How to make this potato soup recipe step by step
I really hope you enjoy this Slow Cooker Ham and Potato Soup! If you do get a chance to make this recipe, I’d love to hear from you in the comments. Next cube up the ham and potatoes. Mince the garlic and chop the fresh rosemary. Stir to combine, cover with the lid, and set to cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or HIGH for 3-4 hours. Add the heavy cream or unsweetened coconut cream and stir to combine. Add the starch mixture a little at a time stirring to combine until the potato soup is the thickness you desire. Season to taste with sea salt and pepper and serve with your choice of toppings.
