I have been following the ketogenic lifestyle for almost six-weeks, now. I feel so much better eating this way. Most of my digestion issues have completely disappeared. For that reason alone, I don’t plan on going back to eating non-keto approved foods. It just isn’t worth it to me.
I am the main cook in our household. When I decided to make the switch to keto foods, I had my families full support. They were a little nervous about the new style of foods I was going to be preparing but were willing to give it a try.
One of the first dinners I made was a Creamy Cauliflower Ham Soup. My hope was that this would be a good replacement for the ham and potato soup I use to make. Well, I succeeded! My family loves this recipe and said there really wasn’t a huge difference in taste or texture between the two.
Try making my Creamy Cauliflower Ham Soup and let me know what you think!
Ingredients:
16 ounces of cauliflower florets, fresh or frozen
1 bunch of kale, diced
3 cups of diced ham (make sure your ham is keto-approved)
8 ounces of medium or sharp cheddar cheese, fresh grated (preshredded cheese usually contains non-keto approved ingredients)
1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream
14 ounces of vegetable broth
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 tsp pink Himalayan sea salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
Directions:
To begin, add the heavy whipping cream, vegetable broth, and cauliflower florets to a large saucepan. Cook until the cauliflower is fork tender. Then either use a blender (Be very careful with hot ingredients in a blender!) or a submersion blender to puree the ingredients. Once the mix is creamy smooth, return it to the large saucepan and set on low/medium heat. Add the ham, kale, garlic, and seasonings to the puree, mix well, and simmer for about 20-30 minutes. Then stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and serve.
Enjoy!

Hello, my name is Laurie. My family and I live near the Oregon coast. When we aren’t at work, in school, or on the volleyball court, we enjoy traveling, cheering for our favorite sports teams, playing outdoors, and checking off items on our bucket list. We are lucky in that both sets of our parents, as well as our siblings and their families, live within an hour of us. We get together often to help one another out, celebrate milestones, and go on adventures together.

This sounds good. I was not aware there is a keto approved ham? I have to look into this. I would almost add more cauliflower again after the blending, we love it!
