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.

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.
