Description
A creamy and cheesy soup that combines the flavors of a bacon cheeseburger in a keto-friendly format.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 6 strips of bacon, chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 cups beef stock
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cup cauliflower florets (optional for extra crunch)
- Sliced green onions for topping
Instructions
- Heat a large soup pot over medium heat and add the chopped bacon. Cook until golden and crispy, then remove and drain on paper towels, keeping the rendered fat in the pot.
- Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté until softened and translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Introduce the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until well-browned, about 5-7 minutes, and drain excess grease if necessary.
- Pour in the beef stock and heavy whipping cream, then mix in the yellow mustard, soy sauce, and smoked paprika. Stir until well combined.
- If using, add the cauliflower florets and bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
- Fold in the grated cheddar cheese, stirring until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with crispy bacon pieces and sliced green onions.
Notes
- For an extra kick, consider adding a teaspoon of chili powder or diced green chilies.
- Serve alongside low-carb bread or crackers for dipping.
