Carnivore Bacon Cheeseburger Soup

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 or fattier for more flavor)
  • 8 strips of bacon (diced)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for a creamy texture)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional, for extra cheesiness)
  • 1/4 cup beef broth (optional, for extra flavor; use a bone broth for strict carnivore)
  • 3 tbsp butter (or beef tallow)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (optional, omit for strict carnivore)
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional, omit for strict carnivore)
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder (optional, omit for strict carnivore)

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Bacon:
    • In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy.
    • Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pot.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef:
    • In the same pot, add the ground beef to the bacon fat.
    • Brown the beef over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Cook until fully browned and cooked through (about 5–7 minutes).
  3. Add the Butter and Cream:
    • Add 3 tablespoons of butter (or beef tallow) to the pot and melt.
    • Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine, creating a creamy base for the soup.
  4. Add the Cheese:
    • Stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese (if using) until fully melted and smooth.
  5. Optional Beef Broth:
    • If using, pour in 1/4 cup of beef broth or bone broth to thin the soup slightly and add richness. Stir to combine.
  6. Season the Soup:
    • Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder (optional) to taste.
    • Bring the soup to a simmer, letting all the flavors meld together for about 5–10 minutes.
  7. Add the Bacon:
    • Stir the crispy bacon pieces into the soup. Keep some for garnish if desired.
  8. Serve:
    • Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Garnish with extra shredded cheese or crispy bacon if desired.

Pro Tips:

  • Cheese Variations: Use a combination of sharp cheddar, gouda, or even cream cheese for a creamier texture.
  • Add Beef Fat: For an extra carnivore touch, add extra beef tallow or rendered fat for more flavor and richness.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, adding a little extra cream if needed.
