Bacon Cheeseburger Soup

Keto Recipes > Keto Dinner Recipes

Just about everyone loves cheeseburgers, but we can’t really enjoy them as much as the rest of the world because of the bread. But, when you serve it in a bowl in the form of a comforting, cheesy, and decadent soup – I don’t think we’re actually missing out on the bun at all.

This bacon cheeseburger soup has quickly become a favorite in my house. It’s loaded with amazing flavors – bacon, beef, spices, cheese, and just a hint of pickle for the acidity to cut through all of that richness. It’s even been a hit with the non-keto members of my household and they’ll gladly lick their bowl clean and ask for seconds.

Oh, and did I mention that there’s bacon? Delicious pieces of crispy bacon layered throughout the soup will bring textures you know and love, and keep finding in every single bite. It’s a fantastic recipe to bulk cook and freeze for the cold months ahead.

P.S. Did you know you could also make this in the slow cooker? Once the beef is done on the stove, just add all the ingredients over to the slow cooker and cook on low for however many hours you want to. The longer it cooks, the more flavor that permeates through the dish – and the more happy faces and clean bowls you have at the end of the day.

So, what’s your favorite soup? Let us know in the comments below!
