A hearty bowl of Slow Cooker Ham and Cheese Soup is the perfect way to warm up! Put it in the Crockpot in the morning on a busy weekday for an easy dinner.

PREP TIME: 15 minutes

COOK TIME: 4 hours

TOTAL TIME: 4 hours 15 minutes

YIELD: 10 cups

INGREDIENTS:

4 cups cubed Ham

4 cups cubed Potatoes

6 cups Water

16 ounces VVelveeta Cheese, cubed

1/4-3/4 cup Instant Potato Flakes, optional

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Put the ham, potatoes, and water in a slow cooker and stir to combine.

2. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW for 6-8 hours until the potatoes are tender.

3. Remove the lid and add the Velveeta cheese. Stir until all of the cheese has melted.
