POTATO AND HAM CROCK POT SOUP

INGREDIENTS

7 cups diced potatoes (about 4 medium)

1 cup diced onion (about 1 medium)

1 large carrot, chopped

2 cups ham, diced

5 cups hot water

4 tsps or cubes of bouillon (that make 1 cup each)

1 cup 1% or skim milk

1/2 cup fat-free plain greek yogurt

Salt and pepper to taste

Chopped fresh chives (or dried) to taste

DIRECTIONS

Add diced potatoes, onion, carrot, and ham to a crock pot.  Dissolve chicken bouillon in 5 cups hot water, then add this to the crock pot also.  Cook on low 7 hours, or high 3 hours.  Then add milk and yogurt.  Stir and cook an additional 15 minutes.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Sprinkle with chives.  Makes twelve 1-cup servings.

If you'd like a thicker soup, just before adding milk and yogurt, remove 2-3 cups of the potatoes and mash, then return the mashed mixture to the crock pot.
