Carnivore Ham and Cheese Soup with Noodles

If you have been looking for a comfort food recipe that is Carnivore friendly, I’ve got you!

I love this soup because it’s not only got that great ham and cheese taste, it’s warm and filling on a cold winter night.

It’s also a one pot keto dinner on the table in about 1/2 hour and that’s a bonus in my books!

Ham and Cheese Soup Ingredients Needed:

Bone broth or beef broth
Leftover cooked ham
cheddar cheese
cream cheese
heavy cream
crumbled bacon for garnish
1 cup of carnivore noodles from this recipe

You will also need a heavy soup pot.

Note: This Carnivore Diet Recipe recipe is appropriate for Relaxed Carnivore, which allows for eggs, dairy and spices. Read here to learn about the basics of the Carnivore diet.

Tips, Tricks and Hacks for Making the Soup

You can use precooked crumbled bacon or leftover crisp cooked bacon (does that happen!?)
If you are not doing Carnivore, this soup is excellent with chopped leftover broccoli.
The Carnivore Noodles are optional but add a next level comfort to the soup! I make a double batch of carnivore noodles every week, keep in a sealed container in the fridge and use throughout the week. The recipe is here.
You can use regular beef broth in this recipe but I prefer bone broth and always have a jar in the fridge. The recipe for bone broth is here.
Meal Prep: This recipe is all about having the prepared ingredients on hand already in the fridge. Then it’s just a matter of assembling it in a short time frame, so it’s perfect for a week night dinner.
