Carnivore Bacon Cheeseburger Soup Recipe

Carnivore Bacon Cheeseburger Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef (preferably fatty)

• 6 strips of bacon, chopped

• 1 small onion, diced (optional, if you’re okay with a small amount of veggies)

• 2 cups beef broth (look for sugar-free or make your own)

• 1 cup heavy cream (or more for creaminess)

• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)

• 1/2 cup cream cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder (optional, if you’re okay with minimal carbs)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for a smoky flavor)

• 1/2 cup pickles, chopped (optional, for a tangy twist)

• 1 tablespoon butter or tallow, for cooking

• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Bacon:

   • In a large pot, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set it aside, but keep the bacon fat in the pot.

2. Brown the Ground Beef:

   • In the same pot with the bacon fat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess grease if necessary.

3. Add the Onion (Optional):

   • If you’re using onion, add it to the pot and cook for 3–5 minutes until softened. If you prefer to stick strictly to carnivore, you can skip this step.

4. Combine Liquids:

   • Pour in the beef broth and bring it to a simmer. Scrape the bottom of the pot to release any flavorful bits from the meat.

5. Add Dairy:

   • Stir in the heavy cream and cream cheese (if using) until the cream cheese melts and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.

6. Season the Soup:

   • Add the garlic powder, onion powder (if using), smoked paprika (if using), and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well.

7. Melt the Cheese:

   • Lower the heat and slowly add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until it melts into the soup.

8. Add the Bacon:

   • Return the crispy bacon to the pot and stir to combine.

9. Optional Garnishes:

   • If you’re using pickles, stir them in now for a bit of tang. Top the soup with fresh parsley if desired.

10. Serve:

• Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy while it’s warm!

This soup is thick, creamy, and packed with savory flavors. It’s super filling, so it’s perfect for a low-carb or carnivore diet. If you prefer a spicier version, you can add a few dashes of hot sauce or even some jalapeños.
