    Did you say clam chowder or ham chowder? It's a tongue twister, but this ham chowder holds its own in terms of texture, heft, and creaminess.

    Ham Chowder

    Chowder is seen as a comfort and a splurge because of its rich and thick qualities. But this warming ham chowder is made with nourishing ingredients like coconut milk, butternut squash, and chicken stock.

    This recipe is autoimmune-friendly, so if you have an autoimmune condition and are avoiding eggs, nuts, nightshades, or other non-AIP-compliant foods, this is a great soup to add to the rotation. There's plenty of depth and flavor from the stock, thyme, and ham to make this a complete meal.

    If you have leftover ham from a holiday meal, this would be a great recipe to chop up and use the leftover ham. And because this chowder is complete with fat, protein, and carbohydrate, it's a well-balanced meal to keep you satisfied!
