Crock Pot Potato Soup with Ham

This recipe is from Plain Chicken reader, Kerri. Kerri and her son, Owen, are big Plain Chicken fans. Owen is always in the kitchen. He makes a lot of Plain Chicken recipes and Kerri tweets pictures for me. I love to see what he is cooking! About a month ago Kerri sent me this recipe for her potato soup. It was different from my usual recipe, so I jumped at the chance to give it a try. It was SO easy and smelled amazing while it cooked in the slow cooker. Chicken Legs and I couldn’t wait to eat it!
