Carnivore Ham and Cheese Soup with Noodles

If you want a comforting, carnivore-friendly recipe, this ham and cheese soup fits the bill.

It delivers that classic ham-and-cheese flavor and a warm, satisfying texture—perfect for cold nights.

It’s a one-pot meal that comes together in about 30 minutes, making it a great weeknight dinner option.

Ingredients

2 cups bone broth or beef broth
10–12 oz cooked ham, cubed
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (reserve 1/2 cup for garnish)
2 oz cream cheese, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup carnivore noodles (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste (adjust for your broth)
1/4 cup crumbled bacon (or 3–4 slices crisp bacon, crumbled) for garnish

You’ll also want a heavy soup pot for even heating.

Note: This recipe follows a relaxed carnivore approach, which allows dairy, eggs and mild seasonings.

Tips and Tricks

Use precooked bacon crumbles or crisp leftover bacon for a quick garnish.
If you aren’t strictly carnivore, chopped leftover broccoli is a tasty addition.
The carnivore noodles are optional but add extra comfort. Make a double batch and refrigerate for use throughout the week.
Bone broth adds depth and richness, but regular beef broth works fine if that’s what you have.
Meal prep: This recipe shines when ingredients are prepped in advance—cubed ham, grated cheese and noodles—so assembly is fast on busy nights.
