Ingredients

  • 1 meaty hambone (optional)
  • 3 gold potatoes diced
  • 2 carrots peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 1 can whole kernel corn
  • 1 large yellow onion diced
  • 1 1/2 cups fully cooked ham cubed
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups 1% or 2% milk
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

  • In a slow cooker, combine the potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and water. Place hambone in for extra flavor (optional). Cover and cook on high 2 1/2 hours.
  • Remove hambone and set aside. If there are any good bits of meat left on the bone you can cut them off and add them to the soup.
  • In a saucepan on the stove, melt the butter. Stir in the flour until smooth.
  • Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly.
  • Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Keep stirring and cook until thickened (about 2 minutes).
  • Stir in cheese until melted. Stir milk/cheese mixture into the potato mixture. Add ham.
  • Continue to cook in the slow cooker on high for another 20 - 30 minutes or until heated through.
