Equipment

potatoes
scrubbed and cubed
1
cup
ham cubes
4
cups
chicken stock
1
cup
heavy cream
½
cup
finely diced white onion
2

8

Instructions
Place the cubed potatoes and ham into the slow cooker
Pour the chicken stock and heavy cream over the top.
Add the onion, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper and stir to combine.
Place the butter on top of the potato mixture, then place the lid on top.
Set your slow cooker to High and cook for 4 hours, stirring every hour, or until potatoes are fork tender.
Serve with garnishes if desired.
Notes
I used honey gold potatoes in this recipe but you can use Yukon golds, russets or red potatoes if preferred.
Substitute half & half for the heavy cream to reduce fat and calories.
Adjust the salt & pepper levels to your taste as the soup cooks.
This recipe was made in a 2.5 quart crockpot.
Recipe can be doubled - be sure to use a larger slow cooker.
Store cooled leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. We don't recommend freezing this soup.
