Ingredients

  • 4 cup cubed ham
  • 4 cups cubed potatoes
  • 6 cups water
  • 16 oz Velveeta cubed
  • 1/4-3/4 cup instant potato flakes optional

Instructions

  • Put the ham, potatoes, and water in a slow cooker and stir to combine.
  • Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours until the potatoes are tender.
  • Remove the lid and add the Velveeta. Stir until all of the cheese has melted.
  • To thicken the soup, stir in a little bit of instant potato flakes at a time, mixing until combined. If you add too much, your soup will turn into a casserole so go slow!
