I just used this recipe to make potato soup I have never made it before and I have to say this came out PERFECT i did add carrots as well to mine though. My 8 year old daughter is telling me I need to make this often. YUMMY
This recipe was so easy and tasted great. Even my picky 3 year old ate it, and he hates soup. It was even better the next day. Thank you!
This is the best ham and potato crock pot recipe that I’ve made! Everything was done in 6 hours on low and I did add carrots. Even my picky preschool boys ate it up! Great recipe, thanks!
this is a pretty good recipe. Im 15 and i made it for my family and they loved it. i made my own little changes but other than that awesome
I loved this recipe because its simple and inexpensive and really tasty! I altered it because I dont care for onions our celery I put onion powder and fresh garlic and addeda can of corn during the last few minutes of cooking. I think that next time I will reduce the amount of bullion cubes the recipe called for as it was a tad bit salty. over all a great family recipe, I will make this again!
Awesome recipe! Have made this several times and shared the recipe with family and friends.
This soup is sooo good! The only thing I did differently was to add sliced carrots. Then towards the last 1/2 hour of cooking, I added a cup of frozen peas. Super delicious! Thank you for sharing this recipe. It’s a keeper for sure. I’m making it again today.
My family loved the soup. I added cheese,cooked wild rice, & great northern bean to the recipe. Thanks for the recipe, added it to my favorites.
This was delicious! I put it in the crockpot before leaving for the day and came home to finish it up last night. I added some sliced carrots. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Amazing how many people feel the need to add or deduct things from a recipe!
That’s what makes new recipes. Experiment.
This was the BEST potato soup my husband or I have ever had. There were only two bowls left after he, myself and my son ate it for dinner. It is wonderful leftover for lunch the next day as well. Thanks for sharing this recipe. It is my new go to recipe!
I am making this soup today and want to know if I can double this recipe.
I made this twice over Thanksgiving… the second time instead of ham i used all the left over dark meat turkey…. came out like turkey chowder… delicious!
add the pepper last too
Ok really good recipe but I agree with a few others about reducing the bullion amount it is pretty salty. Otherwise its a keeper.
I usually make this with bacon but since we had an early thanksgiving dinner with ham, i will be using it instead. I also add 1 container of Philadelphia cooking Creme (itialian herb flavor), we like it creamy. Since ham is salty, I will no use as much boullion either. This will be great with my leftovers today! Thanks for posting
I made this for my family tonight. I loved it!! So simple and easy…and very delicious. Thanks for sharing!
I have everything to make this yummy dish but I’m all out of milk and snowed in. Can this recipe be made with Half and Half to replace the milk? and if so, how much half and half would I use and would I still need to mix Flour in with it?
I would mix the half and half with some water and use it in place of the milk. Yes, you’ll still need the flour to thicken it.
