Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Soup
This keto-friendly soup recipe delivers all the flavors you crave in a bacon cheeseburger, without the bun. You won't even miss it.
Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 pound lean ground beef 80% lean
- 3 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 spears kosher dill pickles chopped
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon steak sauce
- 2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 head romaine lettuce chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 6 grape tomatoes halved
- ΒΌ cup chopped red onion
Instructions
- Heat a large soup pot over medium-high heat and add bacon. Cook until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside to cool.
- Add beef to the soup pot and flatten with a spatula. Cook until bottom is browned, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook other side, about 5 minutes more. Add broth, Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, pickles, tomato paste, steak sauce, mustard, onion powder, chili powder, and black pepper. Mix well to combine, breaking meat into smaller pieces.
- Reduce heat to low; cook and stir until cream cheese is melted, about 3 minutes. Cover and cook soup for 25 minutes more.
- Ladle soup into individual bowls. Divide lettuce between bowls and fold into soup. Crumble 1 slice of cooked bacon into each bowl and garnish with tomatoes and red onion.
