This Crock Pot Creamy Potato and Ham Soup is so flavorful and perfect for leftover ham. Packed full of potatoes, ham, cream and seasoning! A DELICIOUSLY CREAMY CROCK POT SOUP This Crock Pot Creamy Potato and Ham Soup is a hearty, stick-to-your-ribs soup that is a whole meal and not just a prelude to the main course. Whenever I make ham, I make enough so that I always have leftovers for sandwiches and to make this soup! What is perfect about making this in the crock pot is the ham really has time to release a ton of flavor into the soup. We absolutely love this soup and you can just serve it up with some warm crusty bread and it makes the best dinner for those cool fall nights! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Do I have to use instant potatoes? No, if you don’t want to use instant potatoes in this recipe, you can omit them, but you’ll probably want to use something else to thicken the soup. If you don’t want to thicken this soup up using instant potatoes, you can make a cornstarch slurry of 3 Tablespoons of cornstarch with 3 Tablespoons of water. Whisk then add to the slow cooker. Stir and bring up to high heat until the soup has thickened to your likeness.  What can I use instead of ham? If you don’t have diced ham, you could use diced rotisserie chicken instead. Or you could throw in a couple of chicken breasts to this mixture. After they are cooked, take them out and dice them up. Can I make this soup ahead of time and reheat it later? Yes, you can definitely make this soup ahead of time! Once cooked, let the soup cool to room temperature, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to reheat, you can warm it on the stovetop over medium heat, in the microwave, or pop it back in the slow cooker. If the soup has thickened too much after being refrigerated, you can add a splash of broth or milk to loosen it up a bit. What are some good toppings or sides to serve with this soup? Some great toppings for Crock Pot Ham and Potato Soup include shredded cheese, crispy bacon bits, chopped green onions, or a dollop of sour cream. As for sides, warm crusty bread or a few pieces of Skillet Cornbread, a simple green salad, or Garlic Bread pair well with the hearty, creamy texture of the soup. Can I make this on the stovetop instead? Yes, you’ll prep all ingredients as you would the slow cooker version. Then toss everything in the pot and cook for about an hour or so on medium-low heat. Then mash the potatoes and add your instant potato flakes to thicken it up during the last little bit of cooking time. How do I store leftover soup? Once your leftover Slow Cooker Potato and Ham Soup has cooled down to room temperature, transfer leftovers to an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) baby potatoes– you can swap these little potatoes out for Russet potatoes, if desired. I just wouldn’t use a waxy potato like a red potato – they don’t soak up the broth as well as other potatoes. small smoked ham– The ham gives this soup such great flavor and all of that gets infused as it cooks low and slow. Use leftover ham or buy a small smoked ham and dice it up. carrot and onion – you could also add diced celery if you like. dried parsley – this is optional. It adds color but if you don’t have it on hand, there’s no need to go buying it just to make this. dried thyme– I don’t think I love any herb quite as much as thyme. It is absolutely perfect for soups because it adds flavor without overpowering the other ingredients. chicken broth – if necessary, you can use a low or no sodium chicken broth or you can try your hand at making your own Homemade Chicken Broth. heavy cream – the heavy cream adds richness and thickness so it is best to use it. I suppose you could use milk but you won’t get the same level of creaminess. instant potato flakes– if you need a different swap for these, check out the Frequently Asked Questions section above to see what other suggestion I have. These add thickness as well as providing more of a potato flavor. Instant potato flakes are fabulous for thickening soups and stews! HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT HAM AND POTATO SOUP: In a 6 quart (or larger) slow cooker, add in cubed potatoes. Then place in diced ham. Next, toss in diced onions and carrots. Sprinkle with parsley, thyme and black pepper. Pour chicken broth over mixture. Then cover slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Then, take out about 4 cups of the little potatoes and mash them up. Then put the mashed potatoes back into the slow cooker. Pour in heavy cream. This next part is optional but I love the texture that it gives the soup. It thickens it up just a little bit. Pour in one cup of instant potato flakes. Then stir well. Put the lid back on and cook for another 15 minutes. And serve! This is delicious served with a nice loaf of warm, crusty bread. Makes 12 (1 cup) servings. CRAVING MORE RECIPES?

Juicy, tender, Air Fryer Cranberry Chicken Thighs come together in just 30 minutes and with only 4 ingredients, making it a perfect dinner for busy weeknights! A SUPER FLAVORFUL CHICKEN THIGH RECIPE Now I know some of y’all might look at this recipe and think to yourself “Really? Cranberries with chicken thighs?” and I would understand the hesitation. But when I tell you this combination of flavors just works – it really works! I can’t explain it but the sweet and savory and tangy flavors all come together to give you the juiciest and yummiest chicken. It is so unique and it only takes 4 ingredients and your air fryer. This dish is easy enough for a busy weeknight but festive enough for a holiday meal. If you are looking for more ways to cook up chicken thighs and you’re tired of the usual, then look into giving this one a try! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:  What style of Air Fryer should I use and will mine work if it’s different? I tested this recipe using a basket style Air Fryer just like my other Air Fryer recipes. However, this recipe would work with other styles of Air Fryers too. I use the basket style fryer since it’s the most common style in both America and Canada. But, if you have a different kind of Air Fryer, check your make and model and see if the instruction manual has any specific settings you should try to use. Some may cook faster, which would mean less cook time, either way, I recommend keeping a meat thermometer on hand to make sure your chicken is safe to eat with an internal temp of 165F before serving. Do I need to preheat the Air Fryer first? No, there is no need to preheat the Air Fryer for this recipe. Can I use chicken breasts instead? Chicken breasts can be used, but remember that chicken breasts are made of white meat and will cook faster than the dark meat in chicken thighs. If you want to use chicken breasts, I’d check out my Air Fryer Chicken Breasts recipe for a better idea on cooking time and cooking tips. Can I make this in the Slow Cooker instead? Yes, you can make this in the Slow Cooker instead of using the Air Fryer. First, place the chicken in the Crock Pot. Then pour Catalina dressing over the chicken with the cranberry sauce following it. Then sprinkle your onion soup mix on top and stir everything together before closing the cooker with the lid. Cook on low for 4-5 hours or for 2-3 hours on high. Can I make this in the oven instead? Yep! I would make the basting sauce just as you would for this Air Fryer version. But, instead, once you’ve added your sauce the first time, cook the chicken in a baking dish (sprayed with nonstick cooking spray) in the oven at 400°F for 15 minutes. Before the last 5 minutes, baste the thighs again with the sauce and finish the baking process. Make sure the chicken internal temperature reaches the appropriate temp before consuming. What to serve with Air Fryer Cranberry Chicken Thighs? These chicken thighs go great with a side of white rice and vegetables. I love those frozen streamable veggies (like broccoli or carrots, etc.) They’d be good on a bed of egg noodles or Creamy Mashed Potatoes too. I would also really enjoy these with some Honey Glazed Carrots and delicious Grilled Corn on the Cob. How should I store leftovers? Leftovers can be stored in a lidded container for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator. They’ll keep longer by freezing them for up to 3 months. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) Catalina salad dressing– If you don’t have Catalina dressing or can’t find it, simply use some French or Russian dressing instead. Or if you live in an area that sells Western dressing, you can use that too. dry onion soup mix– this is something you can pick up at the grocery store, or make your own homemade version of Onion Soup Mix. Making your own is something I really like (especially if you have any sodium sensitivities), because it is the easiest way to control how much salt you’re using. These packets from the store always contain a lot of sodium, so making your own is a great way to keep those things in check, especially since finding a low sodium or no sodium added option is nearly impossible to find in the grocery store. whole berry cranberry sauce– honestly, this recipe works best if you use the whole berry cranberry sauce. I don’t recommend trying to use the jelly version. It won’t work as well as the whole berry sauce will. If you need help on what to look for in the grocery store, check out this whole berry cranberry sauce for reference (not a paid link). If you really NEED to use the jelly, I guess you could. But it will throw off the whole intended texture of this dish. boneless skinless chicken thighs– chicken breast can be used, see the Frequently Asked Questions section above for info on this type of ingredient swap. Additionally, you could use bone-in, skin on chicken thighs. The cook time should be relatively the same – just use a meat thermometer at the thickest part of the thigh, without touching the bone to make sure the internal temperature reaches 165F before eating. HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER CRANBERRY CHICKEN THIGHS In a large bowl, mix together Catalina dressing, dry onion soup mix and whole cranberry sauce. Set aside one cup of this sauce for basting. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl with the sauce and gently stir to coat evenly.  Spray a 6 quart air fryer basket with olive oil non stick cooking spray (or use an air fryer liner that has holes in it.) Place the chicken thighs in an even layer in the air fryer basket taking care not to overlap. Cook at 400F degrees for 10 minutes then flip each of the thighs. Baste each one with some of the reserved sauce and cook for another 10 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken thighs reaches 165F degrees. While the thighs  finish cooking, you can heat any leftover sauce  in the microwave or on the stovetop and serve it with the thighs. Serve and enjoy!

A genetic analysis suggests that rare cases of early onset osteoporosis may be partly caused by disruptions to the function of the hormone melatonin.

Susanna Hoffs strolled the streets of Los Angeles as she went out shopping while sporting a dressed-down casual look. The ‘80s pop star wore a pink cardigan over a gray shirt and black joggers, which she paired with a pair of slip-on trainers and a white bag. The 65-year-old now looks unrecognizable from her days of peak fame, as she stepped out makeup free. Hoffs looked cheerful and pleased as the cameras flashed, while she made for the parking lot with her supermarket trolley before her.

She founded the group in 1981 with sisters Vicki Peterson and Debbi Peterson with bassist Annette Zilinskas joining them. The group hit a rough patch in the late ‘80s as Hoffs was getting singular attention for group effort in the media. They broke up in 1989, with Hoffs pursuing a solo career until their reunion ten years later. Now Vocal Group Hall of Fame inductees, the ladies have a track record of hit songs and impressive collaborations with industry icons. Susanna Hoffs /Everett Life beyond The Bangles Hoffs’ solo debut album, When You’re A Boy, was a flop, peaking at 83 on the US charts and receiving backlash from critics. This did not stop Hoffs as she released her second Susanna Hoffs, which performed better and was followed by three more projects. Susanna Hoffs/Instagram Hoffs also dabbled in writing with her first novel, This Bird Has Flown, for which she sold the rights to Universal Pictures. The mother of two is still married to her first and only husband, Jay Roach, the award-winning filmmaker behind the Austin Powers series.

Elvis Presley’s bedroom and bathroom where he died have been out of bounds to the public, who visit Graceland all year round to experience the late Rock ‘n’ Roll king’s residence. Even during his lifetime, he ensured both spaces were out of bounds to all except by invitation. While most have no idea what Elvis’ upstairs abode looks like, his ex-wife Priscilla Presley and granddaughter Riley Keough are among the few who have access today. Graceland’s Vice President of Archives and Exhibits, Angie Marchese, is also allowed in the restricted room. What does Elvis Presley’s bathroom and bedroom look like?             View this post on Instagram                         A post shared by Elvis Presley’s Graceland (@visitgraceland)   The Graceland mansion had an open area available to all, but on the way up was a security wall plus a mirror so Elvis could see who was approaching. There was his office, dressing room, and his late daughter Lisa Marie Presley’s room, and then his bed area and the bathroom where he was found unconscious in August 1977. According to Angie, who is tasked with preserving Elvis’ private living area, the place remains as he left it 47 years ago. She noted via an Instagram post that her job is to keep things intact, including the record player with the last tape Elvis played still in and the styrofoam cup on the bookshelf. Graceland / Instagram Elvis Presley’s fans get curious Angie hosted a Q & A session on Graceland’s official Instagram, promising to answer fans’ questions and give them details they never knew about Graceland and where Elvis died. She mentioned that the fresh recording of JD Sumner and the Stamps was the tape in the recorder. Graceland / Instagram She has yet to play the song, but Stamps performed at Elvis’ funeral in Graceland. A fan asked if, one day, the bedroom area will be open for special viewing at additional cost, noting that they are just as curious as everyone else to see it in the flesh. “I think we all want to see his bedroom, but we have to have respect for his privacy was also the last room in the house that he occupied, and he died up there,” another said in defense of the family.
