Low Carb Bacon Cheeseburger Soup Recipe
Description
Low Carb Bacon Cheeseburger Soup Recipe brings together classic cheeseburger flavors into a creamy soup using cauliflower as a low-carb substitute for potatoes or other starches. Ground beef is browned and combined with cooked bacon, diced onion, and riced cauliflower, then simmered with chicken broth and heavy cream. Cheddar cheese is melted in for depth, and xanthan gum is whisked in to thicken the soup without adding extra carbs.
The soup develops a rich, creamy texture with savory notes from steak seasoning and garlic, while tender cauliflower and softened onions offer subtle texture contrasts. Bacon adds smoky flavor and crunch, complementing the melted cheddar cheese nicely.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with extra cheese, bacon, and a spoonful of sour cream to enhance the creamy richness. This recipe works well as a comforting lunch or dinner option when a low-carb meal is desired.
In the notes, shredding cheddar cheese from a block is recommended for even melting. You can enrich the soup further by adding cream cheese. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to a week; reheat gently with added broth or water to loosen thickened soup.
