Follow The Directions

01

Step
8 hrs

Combine ham hock, onions, carrot, water, chicken base, sage, thyme, and rosemary in a large slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low, 8 hours to overnight.

02

Step
3 hrs

Stir potatoes and tomatoes into the soup and cook on Low, 3 to 4 hours more.

03

Step
10 mins

Remove ham hock, shredding with 2 forks, leaving behind any meat. Add cubed ham.

04

Step
15 mins

Meanwhile, melt butter in a saute pan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until it is thick, aromatic, and slightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Add half-and-half until it is gravy consistency. Add mixture to the slow cooker and mix well. Serve with Cheddar cheese.

For a smokier flavor, use a smoked ham hock.
Feel free to adjust the amount of potatoes to your liking. Russet potatoes can also be used.
If you don't have fresh herbs, 1 teaspoon of dried herbs can be substituted for each tablespoon of fresh herbs.
For a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes before adding the half-and-half mixture.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    I didn't have any ham hock, so I used leftover ham bone, and it worked great.
