Slow Cooker Ham and Potato Soup
This Slow Cooker Ham and Potato Soup features diced russet potatoes, aromatic vegetables, cubed ham, and a creamy finish of heavy cream and sour cream. The slow cooker method melds flavors while tenderizing the potatoes. Mashing some potatoes thickens the broth, giving the soup a rich, hearty texture enhanced by seasoning and a touch of flour.
