Instructions
In a 5 to 6 1/2 quart (5 to 6.5 l) slow cooker, combine potatoes, onion, celery, carrot, broth, water, bay leaf, 1/2 tsp (2 ml) salt and 1/4 tsp (1 ml) pepper. Cover with lid and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hrs or on High for 3 to 4 hrs or until potatoes are soft.
Remove bay leaf and discard. Coarsely mash potatoes with a potato masher. Whisk flour into milk and stir into the slow cooker. Cover with lid and cook on High for 15 min or until bubbling around the edges.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine yogurt and chives.
Stir in Canadian Cheddar cheese and ham. Ladle soup into bowls and top with chive yogurt.
Tips
Kids Tip: Kids can prepare the chive yogurt topping, mash the potatoes and stir in the cheese and ham.
Cooking Tip: For a different flavour, replace the onion with 1 leek and stir in 1 tbsp (15 ml) chopped fresh dill along with the cheese.
For the Adventurous: Use aged Canadian Cheddar or Smoked Cheddar or Gouda cheese.
