Introduction

This Keto Beef Cheeseburger Soup brings all the indulgent flavors of a classic cheeseburger into a warm, comforting bowl. Rich, creamy, and packed with savory beef and cheddar, it’s perfect for satisfying your comfort food cravings while keeping it low-carb.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups beef broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon mustard
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup diced pickles
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Step 1: In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Step 2: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot, cooking until they soften and become fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3: Stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard, then bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 4: Add the diced tomatoes and pickles, then reduce the heat to low.
Step 5: Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese, allowing the cheese to melt completely into the soup.
Step 6: Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well and serve hot.

Tips & Variations

For a thicker soup, add extra shredded cheddar or simmer longer to reduce the broth.
Top servings with additional cheddar cheese and extra pickles for added flavor and texture.
Swap out diced tomatoes for roasted red peppers to change up the flavor profile slightly.
Use sharp cheddar for a more pronounced cheesy taste.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat or in the microwave, stirring occasionally. If the soup thickens too much when cold, add a splash of beef broth or water to loosen it during reheating.

How to Serve
