Ingredients

  • 4-1/2 cups Chicken Broth
  • 3 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
  • 1 whole Red Bell Pepper, Seeded And Chopped
  • 1 whole Medium Onion, Chopped
  • 4 whole Celery Stalks, Chopped
  • 4 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 3 cups Ham, Chopped
  • 1-1/2 cup Frozen Peas
  • 1-1/2 cup Frozen Corn Kernels
  • 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • 4 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Softenened
  • 1 cup Milk

Method

  • In the bowl of crockpot, combine chicken broth and flour, whisking until no lumps remain. Add bell pepper, onion, celery, garlic, ham, peas, corn, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together cream cheese and milk until combined. It may be a bit lumpy; if so, you can heat it in the microwave for a minute or two and that should get rid of the lumps. Add this to the slow cooker and stir. Replace the lid and turn heat down to low. Let cook for another 30 minutes. If you need to leave it longer before eating, just turn it down to keep warm at that point until you're ready to eat.
