Freezing outside? Nothing beats a bowl of hot ham soup to warm you up. This soup is rich and creamy, and it’s loaded with tons of cheese and bacon!

4. Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu Soup
This soup has everything you love in a scrumptious cordon bleu, chicken, ham, cheese, and all. I’m actually thinking this soup is even better because it comes with a thick, delectable broth. It’s enriched with heavy cream, flavored with white wine, and seasoned with tarragon, thyme, and cayenne.

7. Ham Pickle Dip
This ham pickle dip only calls for three basic ingredients: ham, cream cheese, and pickles. You just throw all the ingredients into the blender, pulse, and voila! It’s embarrassingly easy to make, but at the same time, ridiculously delicious. Obviously, it’s best used for dipping, but I won’t judge if you simply eat it with a spoon.
8. Keto Ham, Cheddar, and Jalapeno Bites
If you like a rich appetizer with a kick, these bites perfectly fit the bill. These morsels have almond flour and egg for their base which makes them super light and fluffy.

13. Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
This chicken cordon bleu casserole has all the elements of the classic dish. The fact that it’s in casserole form doesn’t sacrifice flavor. Rather, it only makes things so much easier.
