Variations & Tips
For a bit of a kick, you can add some diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the soup mixture. If you prefer a different cheese, Swiss or Monterey Jack would work well too. For a vegetarian version, simply omit the ham and add some sliced mushrooms or bell peppers for extra flavor and texture. You can also prepare the ingredients the night before and store them in the fridge, so all you have to do is assemble and start the slow cooker in the morning.
