• 1 cup onions diced
• 1 cup carrots diced

• 4 cups potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1 inch cubes about 1 lb or 5-6 medium sized potatoes

• 2 cups cooked ham chopped in small 1/2 inch cubes
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary chopped finely
• 1/4 teaspoon salt optional
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup peas
• 1.5 cups milk of choice

Optional to thicken:

• ¼ cup flour or tapicoa flour

instructions

1. In a sauté pan, heat olive oil. While oil is heating, chop veggies.
2. Sauté garlic, onions, carrots, and celery until onions are translucent, about 10 minutes.
3. While veggies sauté, chop ham/potatoes and gather other ingredients.
4. Add all cooked vegetables + all remaining ingredients except milk and peas to the crockpot.
5. Cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
6. Once cooked, reduce heat and stir in milk and peas.
7. For thickening: The soup will thicken as it cools, but if you prefer a richer, thick soup – add ¼ cup all purpose flour to a bowl. Scoop 1-2 cups of broth (it’s ok if a few veggie/ham pieces get in there too) into the bowl. Whisk together. Add flour mixture back into the soup and stir. Bring to a boil on the stove for 2-3 minutes and your soup will naturally thicken.
