Ingredients:
- 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced
- 1 lb chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, cut into chunks
- 1.5 lbs thick-cut peppered bacon, chopped
- 1 lb breakfast sausage, crumbled
- 1 8oz block of cream cheese, softened
- 1 qt heavy cream
- 2 cups water
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: fresh herbs (like thyme or rosemary) for added flavor
Instructions:
-
Prep the Meat:
- Begin by preparing all the meat. Slice the smoked sausage, chop the bacon, and cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized chunks. Crumble the breakfast sausage.
-
Cook the Bacon:
- In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, add the chopped thick-cut peppered bacon. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the bacon becomes crispy and releases its fat, about 7-10 minutes. Remove the bacon and set it aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
-
Cook the Sausage and Chicken:
- Add the crumbled breakfast sausage to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it up into smaller pieces as it cooks, about 5 minutes.
- Next, add the sliced smoked sausage and chicken thighs to the pot. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the chicken to brown slightly.
-
Add Liquids:
- Once all the meats are cooked, pour in the 2 cups of water and 1 quart of heavy cream. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Incorporate Cream Cheese:
- Reduce the heat to low and add the softened block of cream cheese. Stir until it completely dissolves into the soup, creating a creamy, rich base.
-
Season and Simmer:
- Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed. If you like, add a sprig of fresh thyme or rosemary to enhance the flavor. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Final Touches:
- Before serving, stir in the cooked bacon for a crispy texture and extra flavor. If you prefer a thicker consistency, allow the soup to simmer longer or mash some of the meats with a spoon to break them up.
-
Serve:
- Ladle the carnivore meat soup into bowls and enjoy this indulgent, satisfying meal that’s both comforting and filling.
Tips:
- For a spicier kick, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño while cooking the sausage.
- This soup keeps well in the fridge for a few days and can be reheated for a quick, satisfying meal.
