Here’s a comforting Slow Cooker Ham and Potato Soup recipe 🥔🥓—easy, creamy, and perfect for a hands-off meal:
🥘 Ingredients (4–6 servings):
- 3–4 cups diced cooked ham
- 4–5 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

- 1 cup milk or cream
- 2 carrots, diced (optional)
- 2 celery stalks, diced (optional)
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, or parsley for topping
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Prepare the Slow Cooker
- Spray the slow cooker with nonstick spray or lightly grease with butter
2. Add Ingredients
- Combine ham, potatoes, onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and chicken broth in the slow cooker
3. Cook
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until potatoes are tender
4. Add Milk & Seasoning

💡 Tips:
- For a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes in the slow cooker before adding milk
- Use leftover ham from a holiday meal for easy prep
- You can freeze leftovers (without milk) and reheat, adding milk when serving
I can also give you a super simple 5-ingredient version that’s even quicker to prep—just dump and go.
