For an even richer flavor, consider using smoked ham hock instead of diced ham and remove the bone before serving. If you prefer a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes against the side of the slow cooker during the last hour of cooking. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added freshness. The soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.

Jun 9, 2025The spice level was perfect for us, but if you're sensitive to heat, you might want to reduce the amount of cayenne pepper.

Apr 25, 2025I didn't have any Creole seasoning, so I used a combination of paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. It worked perfectly.

Apr 21, 2025I found that 7 hours on low was a bit too long for my slow cooker, the potatoes were a little mushy. Next time I will try 6 hours.
