Cozy slow cooker ham and potato soup that is rich and velvety.
Ingredients:
  • 1 large ham hock
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 1 large carrot, chopped
  • 4 cups water, or more as needed
  • 2 tablespoons chicken base (such as Better Than Bouillon® Roasted Chicken Base)
  • 1 tablespoon rubbed sage leaves
  • 8 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed
  • 1 pound purple potatoes, cubed
  • 0.5 pound red potatoes, cubed
  • 3 small tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup cubed ham, or more to taste
  • 0.5 cup salted butter
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 0.25 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste
Instructions:
  • In a large slow cooker, add ham hock, onions, carrots, water, chicken base, sage, thyme, and rosemary. Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours to overnight.
  • Gently incorporate the potatoes and tomatoes into the soup, then simmer on Low for an additional 3 to 4 hours.
  • Discard ham hock, shred any remaining meat with 2 forks, then stir in cubed ham.
  • In a saute pan over medium heat, melt butter until rich and fragrant. Stir in flour until thickened and slightly golden, about 15 to 20 minutes. Pour in half-and-half until the mixture is like gravy. Transfer to the slow cooker, mix thoroughly, and top with Cheddar cheese before serving.
