Ingredients
- 8 large potatoes
- 2 large sweet onions
- 4 cloves garlic
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 Tablespoon seasoned salt
- 1 Tablespoon pepper
- 2 cups ham diced
- water if needed
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- parsley or chives to garnish
Instructions
- Peel and dice the potatoes into pieces about 1 inch in size. Chop the onions and mince the garlic cloves.
- Add the potatoes, garlic and onions to the slow cooker, along with the chicken broth. Add the salt, pepper, diced ham and stir well.
- If the potatoes are not covered by the broth add water to the slow cooker until the potatoes are just submerged.
- Put the lid on the slow cooker and set the it on high. Let it cook on high for about 4 hours, then reduce the setting to low. Let the soup continue to cook on low for 2-4 hours, until you are ready to eat.
- About 30 minutes before you are ready to serve the soup stir in the cream and turn the slow cooker to warm. Use a potato masher to mash about half of the potatoes, leaving some to give it a chunky texture. If you prefer a smoother texture you can use an immersion blender to blend all the potatoes.
- Let the soup sit on warm for about 30 minutes. Right before serving stir in the cheese.
- Serve garnished with chives or parsley.
