Butter Addict Gone Paleo!

Ham & Chive Chowder

Servings

Ingredients

1 Oniondiced
4tbsp Ghee or Grass-fed butter
6 Green onionschopped
8oz Kitehill brand Chive cream cheeseyou can sub plain or use your favorite dairy free (or regular) cream cheese
1tsp Pink salt
2tsp Onion powder
2tsp Garlic powder
1cup Cashew milksub almond or coconut milk
3cups BrothI used homemade bone broth
3-4 Red potatoesabout 3 cups-chopped (I leave the skins on!)
12-16oz Pre-cooked, chopped hamuse sliced deli meat or leftovers from baked ham!

Instructions

In a dutch oven or large soup pot over medium heat, sauté both kinds of onion in the butter or ghee for about 5 minutes until the regular onion is translucent.
To your pot, add your cream cheese and cook just until it’s all melted and combined. This should take just a minute or two.
Once the cheese is completely melted, add the remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. The longer you let this simmer the more the potatoes will cook away and thicken your soup. I always chop mine a bit bigger (I like a chunky soup anyways) that way I don’t lose all of my potatoes in the cooking process!
…and you’re DONE! EASY! I serve these with MORE fresh, chopped green onions on top! You can never have too much green onion! 😛
