I call this potato soup "rummage" b/c I tend to rummage through the fridge for any leftover pork I have to add to it :) It always ends up delicious! It's a great cold weather soup!

How To Make rummage potato soup

  • 1
    Cut and boil potatoes. Peel if you like, but I always leave the peel on.
  • 2
    Once potatoes softened, strain from water and put in crock pot. Save 2 cups of potato water.
  • 3
    Add flour, butter, milk, sugar, & cheese to crock pot & stir.
  • 4
    Find meat in fridge. I usually use chopped leftover brisket or breakfast sausage or baked ham. If you don't have these then buy 1 pkg cooked chopped ham & use that. I don't use an exact measurement, it depends on how meaty you want your soup.
  • 5
    Chop & add meat to crock pot & stir.
  • 6
    Sprinkle crushed red pepper & black pepper to taste.
  • 7
    Cover crock pot & cook either on low for 6-8 hrs or high for 3-4 hrs - until cheese is melted through. Check & stir occasionally until done.
  • 8
    If soup is too thick, add saved potato water until it is to your preference.
