Place the potatoes, ham, carrots, celery, onion, salt, garlic powder, pepper, bay leaves, and chicken broth into a 6 or 7-quart slow cooker. Stir to combine.

Cook on HIGH for 4-5 hours or LOW for 7-8 hours.
After the soup cooks, remove about 1 cup of broth from the slow cooker and place it in a bowl or large measuring cup. Add the flour to the broth, and whisk to combine.
