Hey y’all!  GOODe Ole Boy here!

Do you remember that easy crock pot ham recipe that I made a little while back?  That thing was HUGE!  We ate off of it for a few days and there was STILL a bunch left over.  We had ham steaks, ham sammiches, ham and eggs…I’m starting to sound like Bubba from Forrest Gump, I know.

Ham and Cheese Soup {Crock Pot}

What I’m getting at is the ham went a long way and we continued to use it for many different recipes, like this Ham and Cheese Soup in the crock pot in Gooseberry Patch’s Slow Cooking All Year ‘Round (one of Cris’ favorite slow cooker cookbooks). We like cheesy soups ’round these parts and this one was one of the best ones yet. Everyone said it reminded them of that rich velvety soup from O’Charley’s… their loaded potato soup, only with ham instead. It does have a lot of the same qualities of that popular soup, especially the creamy cheese texture.

As the weather is getting colder I imagine a Saturday of splitting firewood to keep the chill off the house and coming in to find this soup bubbling in the crock pot.  Paired with my momma’s old fashioned crescent rolls, this soup just hits the spot! This soup is like a reflection of me.  Wonderful, warm and filled with cheesy GOODeness 😉  Enjoy!

Cooking Cheesy Soups in Crock Pots

One note about cooking cheesy soups like this in your slow cooker. Even on low (and in many cases warm), newer slow cookers cook a lot hotter than older ones. When cooking a soup that has a lot of cheese in it, you should keep an eye on it and stir regularly.

If, by chance, you begin to feel the cheese sticking on the bottom or side of your slow cooker, don’t panic. Reduce your heat if you can and don’t scrape the sides (or bottom) of your crock pot while stirring. In most cases, the soup is just fine and that “stuck cheese” (while a pain to scrub clean later) won’t hurt the rest of your soup  as long as you don’t stir it into the main portion of your soup.

Which Crock Pot to Use

This Ham and Cheese Soup makes a lot of soup and while you might be able to fit it into a 5 qt slow cooker, a 6 qt would likely be a better choice if you have one.  An automatic stirring slow cooker would be nice for this recipe although I would still watch it closely.
