This Paleo Ham and Potato Soup is thick, creamy, and so filling. It's delicious while being gluten free, dairy free, and low FODMAP.
This soup is hearty and so comforting. It's a great way to use up holiday ham you may have or buy ham just to make this. It's that good!
Low FODMAP Soup
Using green onion and garlic oil and water (instead of broth) keep this soup low FODMAP. It's also important to not use honey ham which is very common. This soup is still packed with flavor and creaminess.
I want to mention that I don't use any salt in the soup besides the salt in the ham. I'm usually all for flavoring every layer, but I find ham to be so salty that this soup does not need any additional salt. You can of course season it to your taste preference.
I think you will love this paleo Whole30 ham and potato soup because it's delicious and a soup the whole family will love.

Ham and Potato Soup
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon garlic oil
- 2 ½ cups diced carrots
- ½ cup diced green onion
- 5 cups water
- 1-2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 1 ½ pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 pound ham, chopped
- 5 cups baby kale, 2.5oz
Instructions
- Add the garlic oil to a large stock pot and add in the carrots and green onion. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Add in the water, thyme, and potaotes and bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat to medium/low and simmer for 15 minutes, until potaotes are tender.
- Turn the heat off and add in the almond milk. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup a little, still leaving chunks, but blending enough to add creaminess.
- Add in the ham and kale and cook 5 minutes, until kale is wilted.
- Store in the fridge up to 7 days.

I don't calculate it. You can use a site like My Fitness Pal if you need to know.

Hi! I am just wondering if using a Low FODMAP broth or soup base, how much would you use instead of water?
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Amber- the same, 5 cups. Hope that helps!

Hello. Just found your recipes! So helpful since I too have IBS and need to say low fodmap.
Do you think this recipe would work in the InstantPot? If so what adjustments would you make? Thank you 😊
Jessica DeMay says
Hi Lisa- glad you found me 🙂 I do think it would work. Don't add the almond milk or kale until after cooking. I'd say probably cook for 8-10 minutes, that's just a guess. Hope you love it!
