First Thoughts – Browsing one of the Slow Cooker cookbooks I got from my mom for Christmas, I happened upon quite a few Potato Soup recipes. I figured, why not? Crock Pot cooking is the way to go. Plus this recipe has Velveeta, sour cream and ham!
Recipe Alterations – Maybe not so much of an alteration, but for the potatoes I used Yukon Gold rather than Russet or Idaho. I think they were quite tasty. We also didn’t really measure the ham or onion – just chopped up the whole thing and tossed it in.
Possible Changes – Only thing I would change really is maybe add some carrots, and chop the ham up a bit smaller. We had no leftover ham, so I just bought a hamsteak and chopped that up. I’m also thinking that maybe some form of sausage could be terribly tasty, as well.
Would I Eat it Again? I really liked this recipe, but apparently Matt prefers the other potato soup recipe I tried. The other recipe also had less work – I didn’t need to mash half of the potatoes before putting them in the crock pot. Matt liked the ham in this one, but I could just as easily add ham to the other recipe. I liked the Velveeta and sour cream in this one, but maybe I can just modify the other recipe a bit. So this recipe isn’t bad – I’d eat it again, and it gave me some ideas for future potato soup recipes.

Mors’ opinion:
This recipe was quite tasty. It was a bit thicker than the previous recipe (as I recall), more of a chowder consistency. I tend to like my soup a bit more… soupy. But this was certainly not bad and I would not complain if we had it again. The possible changes you suggested would certainly be worth a try. Mmmmmm sausage!
