Cheesy Ham and Potato Soup



Cheesy Ham and Potato Soup






All of your ingredients (except the ham) 


I started out by dicing a half an onion.

Then I dumped the onions, potatoes, ham, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and spices in and stirred them together. 

Then I set the crockpot to 5 hours on low.

Stir in the cream cheese and shredded cheese, Then set to an hour on low.

Once its finished just stir and serve! 



Guys...I realized when I went to dish up our bowls that I didn't put any garlic in! 😲 We put garlic in everything...so I had to add some to my bowl but it actually had plenty of flavor without it. 

Ingredients
  • 32 oz bag diced hashbrowns
  • 32 oz carton chicken broth
  • 15 oz can cream of chicken soup
  • 2 cups diced ham (I already had some that I had diced up in the freezer, you could do that or buy the pre diced)
  • 1/2 an onion
  • 8 oz block cream cheese
  • 2 - 8 oz bags shredded cheese 
  • 1 TBS pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp celery salt
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp chopped chives
  • 1 tsp white pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ground mustard 
Directions
  1. Dice 1/2 an onion
  2. Add onion, potatoes, ham, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, and spices to crockpot.
  3. Stir and set crockpot on low for 5 hours - Stirring occasionally.
  4. Cube up the cream cheese and add to crockpot.
  5. Add shredded cheese to crockpot.
  6. Stir and set to 1 hour on low stirring occasionally.

Notes:
  • You could easily substitute bacon for the ham for a different flavor.
  • Add more or less of any of these seasonings, We thought it had the perfect amount of flavor without being too spicy.
  • I wanted there to still be some chunks of potatoes but if you wanted it to be a little mushier you could either cook longer or run an emulsion blender in it before you serve.
  • Its definitely cheesy but we didn't think it was over powering, You could easily do one bag of cheese instead of two.

National Peanut Butter Day

In honor of National peanut butter day coming up this Sunday the 24th, I thought I would share my favorite  peanut butter recipes from the blog.  I don’t know about you, but I never need an excuse for peanut butter, BUT I do love using these National (insert whatever here) day as a fun way to celebrate some of my favorite things.  To start us off I’ll share my favorite first!

Favorites - Hair Products

Favorites - Hair Products I'm starting a new little "series" Once a month I'm going to do a post on some of my favorite things, whether its hair and beauty products, clothes, cleaning products, foods, etc. To kick off this series I'm going to start with my favorite hair products. I decided to pair brands together to keep it a little more simple for you!  Now first things first...I'm sure you've been told this (probably by me) but DO NOT buy hair products from Walmart, target, TJ Max, etc....It is NOT the same thing you get from a salon!  My mom actually did it years ago when Walmart started carying "Paul Mitchell" products, and guess what...It wasn't the same as what she got from our stylist. Ulta, Sephora, Beauty Brands, places like that are fine, but I recommend buying from your stylist, they put the work into picking out the right products for you so I'm sure they'd appreciate your business😊.
