Crock Pot Ham and Potato Soup is a classic rich, and creamy comfort food! It’s easy to make, loaded with veggies, and super satisfying. This recipe is a must-make for soup season.

Crock Pot Ham And Potato Soup is full of vegetables and the perfect comfort food served with warm bread on a chilly night.


When it comes to soups, I don’t care if they are creamy, chunky, or made with a simple, flavorful broth; I’ll take them all! I don’t think there’s anything more comforting than a big bowl of hot soup and some crusty bread, especially on a chilly evening.

My Crock Pot Potato Soup recipe inspired this slow cooker soup creation. My new recipe, Ham and Potato Soup, is loaded with carrots, celery, and ham. I added a little decadence with half-and-half and sour cream on a whim. The outcome? A rich, creamy, delicious soup that gives you huge rewards with very little work.
