Instructions
- In a pot or, if your slow cooker has an insert for browning, add the oil. Once shimmering, brown the ham until the sides are golden brown.
- Add all the ingredients, except the Roux mixture, to the slow cooker.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
Roux Mixture:
- Once the soup has cooked, add butter to a medium saucepan over medium heat and melt it. Whisk in the flour until completely combined, then gradually add the heavy cream.
- Whisk the flour mixture well until smooth. With the heat on the lowest stove setting, let the mixture cook until it starts to simmer and gets thicker; stir occasionally.
- Immediately add the cream-flour mixture to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
- If the soup is too thick, add more WARM chicken broth or water; first, heat it in the microwave until it's hot. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper.
- Cover and continue cooking the soup on low for 30 minutes or high for 15 minutes. If you add more liquid, let the soup simmer for a few minutes.
- Serve with parsley, optional as a garnish.
