Instructions:
Slow Cook:

• Add diced potatoes, diced onion, minced garlic, cooked bacon, ham, carrots, celery, dried parsley, and chicken broth to the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper.
• Stir and cook for 6-8 hours on low or on high for 3-4 hours.
Roux Mixture:
• Once the soup has cooked, add butter to a medium saucepan over medium heat and melt. Whisk in the flour until completely combined and gradually add in the heavy cream.
• Whisk well the flour mixture, until smooth. With the heat on the lowest stove setting, let the mixture cook until it starts to simmer and is getting thicker, stir occasionally.
• Immediately add the cream-flour mixture to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
After the Thickening Mixture was added:
• Using a potato masher, mash about 3/4 of the potatoes. Let the soup cook for another 30 minutes for it to thicken.
• Stir in the sour cream until fully combined. Season with salt and pepper.
• If the soup is too thick, add more WARM chicken broth, make sure you first heat it up in the microwave until its hot. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper.
• If you added more liquid, make sure to let the soup simmer for a few minutes.
Serve:
• Serve warm, garnished with bacon, green onions, and sour cream.
• The soup will thicken more once it cools. When reheating, add more water, broth or milk to dilute it and simmer for a few minutes.
