Ingredients
3 medium-large potatoes, cubed (more the merrier)
4 cloves fresh garlic, chopped or use garlic press (I just got one and I love it!)
2 cups of cooked ham, cubed
2 cups celery, chopped
6 cups chicken/beef broth (equal to 6 bullion cubes and 6 cups water)
1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp dried parsley

I love using the crock pot to make this soup.

Other great add-ons that I didn’t have on hand could include: carrots, onions, corn.

Happy New Year!
