Ham and Potato Soup Crock Pot Recipe
Description
The Ham and Potato Soup Crock Pot Recipe brings together diced russet potatoes, onions, carrots, celery, and ham in a slow cooker with chicken broth, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cooking low and slow develops flavors and softens the vegetables over 3 to 7 hours depending on the setting. Near the end, a cornstarch slurry mixed into heavy cream along with sour cream thickens the soup, creating a creamy consistency.
The combination of ham and potatoes offers a rich, filling soup with balanced savory notes from the herbs and a gentle creaminess. The slow cooker method simplifies preparation and ensures tender texture throughout.
This soup is ideal served with crackers or bread rolls and makes for easy leftovers. The notes suggest the option to substitute milk for heavy cream to reduce calorie content, though it will lessen creaminess, and recommend refrigerating leftovers for up to a week in airtight containers.
Ingredients
- 4 russet potatoes peeled and dice into 1 in pieces, large
- 1 onion diced, medium
- 2 carrot peeled and diced, large
- 1 celery diced, stalk
- 1 pound ham diced
- 2 teaspoons parsley chopped, fresh
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme dried
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream whipping
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Place everything except for the sour cream, cornstarch, heavy whipping cream in the crock pot.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-3.5 hours until the potatoes are the tenderness that you desire.
- Then stir in the cornstarch into the heavy whipping cream. Stir this mixture and the sour cream into the crock pot. Cover and cook on low for 30 minutes or on high for 15 minutes until the soup has thickened.
- Serve with your favorite type of cracker or rolls and enjoy!
Notes
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 5 to 7 days to maintain freshness.
- Milk can be used instead of heavy cream to reduce calories, although the soup will be less creamy.
