Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Toppings
- Diced pickles
- Bacon bits
- Green onions
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once cooked, drain and remove excess grease to keep the soup from becoming oily.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot with the beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld for about 5 minutes.
- Incorporate Cream Cheese and Heavy Cream: Stir in the cream cheese and heavy cream into the simmering soup until the cream cheese melts completely and the soup has a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Melt Cheddar Cheese: Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese while stirring continuously until the cheese is fully melted and integrated into the soup.
- Season and Serve: Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and top with your favorite cheeseburger toppings like diced pickles, bacon bits, and green onions for extra flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use full-fat dairy products to keep the soup rich and keto-friendly.
- For a thicker soup, use less broth or simmer longer to reduce.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
- Add diced tomatoes or jalapeños for a spicy twist.
