Crock Pot Ham and Potato Soup

When the weather changes from summer to fall that is the best time to make a pot of soup. I love it when I can make soup especially in the crock pot. There is just something about cooking soup in the crock pot that makes the soup taste so good. The other day I made Ham and Potato Soup in the crock pot and it was very yummy!

Ingredients:

1 cup of diced ham (can also use bacon)
1/4 cup finely chopped sautéed onion
2 (10.5 ounce) cans condensed chicken broth
2 cups water
5 large potatoes, diced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper (I used ground black pepper)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups half-and-half cream
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

(What you will need)

Instructions:

1. Sauté the onion.

3. Once the onion is sautéed and the potatoes and ham are cubed, place the ham, potatoes, salt, dried dill weed, black pepper and flour into the crock pot.

4. Next pour in chicken broth, water, half-and-half and evaporated milk. Mix together.

5. Sprinkle over the top a little parsley. This just makes it look pretty is all.

6. Cook on high for about 3-4 hours or until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.

(Enjoy!)

Cooking Tip:

As you can see I changed a few things that this recipe called for since I did have them. Also, I did add a little more flour when the soup was finished cooking in order to make it a little thicker.
