Instructions
Add the cubed potatoes, diced cooked ham, carrot, celery, onion, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chicken broth to your crock pot or slow cooker.
Close the lid and set to cook on high for 4 hours, or on high for 7-8 hours.
When the potatoes are tender and cooked, use a potato masher to crush the majority of the softened potatoes until you reach your desired consistency.
Stir in the heavy cream and sour cream until smooth, then continue cooking an additional 10-15 minutes on high heat before serving.
Notes
Your potato masher won't mash the diced ham pieces (not much, if at all).
Any milk can also work (whole, 2%, 1%, or skim milk) but you may want to thicken the soup with a slurry of either all-purpose flour or cornstarch. Mix either 1 tablespoon cornstarch or flour with an equal amount cold water until smooth. Whisk into your soup. Repeat as needed until you get your desired thickness. *Note that it typically takes 2x as much flour to get the same results as cornstarch.
