Keto-Friendly Cheeseburger Soup
/Soup season is here! And so is the season where I try to throw random things in a pot to re-create my favorite indulgences and make them healthy. Haha. Haven’t you seen the meme that says “If cauliflower can become pizza, you my dear can be anything?” 😂
I am not a nutritionist and this is probably not 100% keto but it is definitely a lighter version than the regular cheeseburger soup! Let me know what you think and if you make any changes to it!! XO
RECIPE:
32 oz beef broth
1 lb ground beef-browned and drained
1/2 package of bacon, cooked and chopped
7-10 mini dill pickles-chopped (can use any pickle, use as desired)
1/2 can petite diced tomatoes
1 small head of cauliflower, cooked and chopped into bit size pieces
1 small yellow onion, sautéed
3/4 block cream cheese
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup milk (can omit and just add broth from soup)
1 Tbsp minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
4 Tbsp butter
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
1.) Brown beef in a soup pot, drain excess grease. Sauté onion with beef until soft and add in minced garlic and 2 tbs butter.
2.) Cut up cauliflower and boil until fork tender. Drain and add to beef mixture. Add in beef broth.
3.) Add in tomatoes. 1/2 of your cooked and chopped bacon. (If you want crispy bacon, add it to the top of your soup when you serve it.) Or forget about it in the microwave and find in a few days later. Hahaha
4.) Make your cheese sauce by adding cream cheese, butter, shredded cheese and thin with milk or use beef broth from your soup pot. Once it is all melted together, slowly whisk it into your soup until blended. Salt and pepper to taste.
5.) Simmer until warm and serve!
