How to Make Easy Carnivore Diet Bacon Cheeseburger Soup

Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add ground beef and minced garlic, cooking until browned and fragrant.
Drain excess grease to ensure a lighter soup texture.
Pour in beef broth, and add fresh parsley, dill, Worcestershire sauce, and salt. Stir gently.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Reduce heat to low and stir in the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and heavy cream. Whisk until fully melted and creamy.
Ladle the soup into bowls and generously top with crumbled turkey bacon before serving.

Fun Ways to Customize It

Spicy Kick: Add some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce if you’re in the mood for a little heat.
Herbaceous Twist: Stir in fresh thyme or oregano along with the parsley for a more aromatic flavor profile.
Vegetable Medley: If you want to sneak in some veggies (though it’s a carnivore soup!), try adding finely chopped mushrooms or spinach for added texture.
Cheesy Delight: Experiment with different types of cheese like pepper jack for a spicy twist or gouda for a smokier flavor.
