Carnivore Cheeseburger Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for the perfect fat-to-meat ratio)

• 4 oz bacon, chopped (optional for extra flavor)

• 2 cups beef broth (check ingredients to ensure it's carnivore-friendly)

• 1 cup heavy cream (or full-fat coconut cream if preferred)

• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar works great, but any melty cheese will do)

• 2 tbsp butter (for richness)

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1️⃣ Cook the Bacon (Optional):

In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pot.

2️⃣ Brown the Ground Beef:

Add the ground beef 🍖 to the pot with the bacon grease (or butter 🧈 if skipping bacon). Cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed, but leave some for flavor. 👨‍🍳

3️⃣ Add the Broth and Cream:

Pour in the beef broth 🍲 and stir to combine. Lower the heat 🔥 and mix in the heavy cream, allowing it to simmer gently.

4️⃣ Melt the Cheese:

Gradually add the shredded cheese 🧀, stirring constantly to melt it into the soup. This will create a thick, creamy base. Avoid boiling to prevent the cheese from clumping. 🔥

5️⃣ Season:

Add salt 🧂 and pepper 🌶️ to taste. You can also add a sprinkle of garlic powder 🧄 or smoked paprika if you want to enhance the flavor while staying carnivore-friendly.

6️⃣ Simmer and Serve:

Let the soup simmer for 5-10 minutes ⏲️, allowing the flavors to meld. If it’s too thick for your liking, add a splash more broth 🍲 or cream 🧴.

7️⃣ Garnish (Optional):

Top with the crispy bacon bits 🥓 for extra flavor and texture. For a fancier touch, add a dollop of sour cream 🍶 or a slice of melted cheese 🧀 on top.
