Loaded Baked Potato Soup

This cheesy ham and potato soup is a favorite in our house. Creamy, hearty and loaded with vegetables. I made a big batch before one of our cross country meets, scooped it into thermoses and it was the perfect fuel for the kids after a long run. It’s one of those dinners that is cozy and filling, but is still easy to pull together in the slow cooker. Plus, the combination of ham, potatoes, broccoli and sharp cheddar makes everyone happy on the ride home.

Substitutions and Variations

Protein: Swap ham for leftover chicken or turkey.

Vegetables: You can swap for fresh broccoli, or green beans instead.

Gluten Free: Make it gluten free by skipping the flour and using a corn starch flurry instead.

Spice: Add some spice with smoked chipotle or red pepper flakes.  You can also add in some hot sauce.
