Ingredients
- 10 lices Bacon cooked and diced
- 2 cups diced ham
- 5 cups chicken broth low sodium
- 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes peeled and diced
- 1 medium sweet onion diced
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1 carrot cut into cubes
- 1 cup celery cubed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Roux Mixture:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
Toppings:
- cooked bacon
- chopped green onions
- sour cream
Instructions
Slow Cook:
- Add diced potatoes, diced onion, minced garlic, cooked bacon, ham, carrots, celery, dried parsley, and chicken broth to the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir and cook for 6-8 hours on low or on 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 well the flour mixture, until smooth. With the heat on the lowest stove setting, let the mixture cook until it starts to simmer and gets thicker, stirring occasionally.
- Immediately add the cream-flour mixture to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
After the Thickening Mixture was added:
- Using a potato masher, mash about 3/4 of the potatoes. Let the soup cook for another 30 minutes for it to thicken.
- Stir in the sour cream until thoroughly combined. Season with salt and pepper.
- If the soup is too thick, add more WARM chicken broth. First, heat it up in the microwave until it's hot. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper.
- If you add more liquid, make sure to let the soup simmer for a few minutes.
Serve:
- Serve warm, garnished with bacon, green onions, and sour cream.
- Once it cools, the soup will thicken more. When reheating, add more water, broth, or milk to dilute it and simmer for a few minutes.
