This creamy dairy free potato soup with ham is rich, silky, and so good on a cold day.
The last few days have been a little bit chillier here, and I’ve been busting out my favorite soup recipes! We’ve had bean soup, chili, potato soup, and chicken rice soup is on the menu for later in the week.
Today I’m going to share my dairy free potato soup recipe with you, and it’s a recipe that is adapted from my mom’s recipe box. My mom got the recipe from an older lady who was our neighbor for a while when I was growing up. Mrs. Brown was her name, and she made delicious potato soup, and amazing apple pie as well. Her recipe called for butter and sour cream, but I adapted it, and I think it tastes pretty close.
If you are not dairy free, you can add the sour cream, it makes the soup have a little bit more of a tangy flavor.
This dairy free potato soup recipe is:
- easy to make
- creamy, silky, and so comforting
- dairy free, gluten free, and allergy friendly

Creamy Dairy Free Potato Soup with Ham.
Pure comfort food...creamy dairy free potato soup with ham.
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 3 stalks celery chopped
- 8 Yukon Gold Potatoes peeled and diced
- 32 ounces reduced sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup ham cut into chunks
- 3/4 cup non-dairy milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons gluten free flour blend plus 2 Tablespoons water
Instructions
-
In a large sauce pan, saute the onions and celery in the olive oil for about five minutes until onion is translucent.
-
Add the potatoes, ham, and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
-
Add the non-dairy milk and salt to the pot, then stir.
-
Put the GF flour and the water in a small container with a lid, and shake well. Drizzle the mixture in the soup while stirring until it reaches the desired thickness.
-
Season with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve the soup with crackers or bread.
Before we had dairy issues, this is the way I used to make my cream of potato soup. I’m happy to say that I love both recipes!
This dairy free potato soup is easy to put together, and just takes some time on the stove top to cook and have the potatoes get tender. It’s a perfect fall dinner when coupled with bread and a light salad.
Enjoy!

I just found your blog and tried this recipe for supper tonight. It was a hit with the family which is hard to find! I can’t wait to try some of your other recipes! Thanks!
That’s great to hear! I’m so glad that it was a big hit! Thank you for letting me know. :)
Made this for dinner tonight. Very yummy and easy. Next time, I’m going to cook it without the ham so I can puree the potatoes with an immersion blender, but that’s the only change I’m making. Thanks!
I’m so glad you liked it! Thanks for letting me know!
Hi Kelly, love this idea but I’m horridly allergic to almonds, any other milks okay besides cow?
Hi Cait! For sure! Use any non-dairy milk that you like. THis is an older recipe from before my son had nut allergies. I will edit it now. :)
