How to make Keto Cheeseburger Soup: step-by-step guide
Cooking methods
Preparation steps
- Collect all the necessary ingredients.
- Measure the ingredients according to the recommended quantities.
- Chop the onions, mince the garlic, and cut the pickles.
- Shred or grate the cheddar cheese.
Cooking instructions
- Warm up a 5-quart cast-iron Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and sizzle until crispy. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes.
- Transfer the crispy bacon to a paper towel-covered plate with a slotted spoon.
- Drain the excess grease from the pot, but keep 2 tablespoons of it.
- Toss the butter and onions into the pot. Let them cook for 5 minutes until the onions become see-through. Add garlic and cook it for another 30 seconds until you smell its aroma.
- Mix in the tomato paste and let it darken for around 2 minutes.
- Increase the heat to medium-high, and add ground beef along with salt and pepper. Cook until the beef browns, and you see no pink color.
- Add yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, pickles, beef broth, and diced tomatoes. Let the mixture reach boiling point, then lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
- Turn the heat down to low. Add cream cheese, shredded cheese, and heavy whipping cream. Keep it simmering and stir frequently until everything blends together. Return most of the bacon bits to the pot; save some for topping later.
- Adjust the seasonings according to your taste.
- Voila! Your creamy, dreamy soup is ready to be served.
Chef's pro tip
For a truly savory and rich cheeseburger soup, don't overcook your ground beef. Just let it sizzle until it's brown, and there's no trace of pink left. Once it's at this stage, take it off the heat. This ensures your beef stays juicy and packed full of flavor.

I was a bit leery about this recipe, frankly, but I really liked it! I didn't have any tomato sauce, so I died the leftover tomato paste into the leftover beef broth. Perfect.
