A hearty, low-carb, and creamy soup that captures all the flavors of a cheeseburger without the bun. Perfect for cozy dinners and keto lifestyles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferred)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth (low-sodium)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp pickle relish (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: chopped green onions, extra shredded cheese, crispy bacon bits

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and no pink remains, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if desired.
  2. Add diced onion to the beef and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
  4. Lower heat and add softened cream cheese in chunks, stirring continuously until fully melted and incorporated.
  5. Stir in heavy cream, then gradually add shredded cheddar cheese, stirring gently until melted and smooth. Avoid boiling to prevent cheese separation.
  6. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Fold in pickle relish for a tangy note.
  7. Let soup warm through for another 2 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally until thick but spoonable with a glossy finish.

Notes

If soup is too thick, add a splash of beef broth to loosen. If too thin, simmer longer uncovered. Soften cream cheese before adding to avoid lumps. Melt cheese gently over low heat to prevent separation. Use fresh shredded cheese for best texture. Can substitute ground beef with turkey or chicken. For dairy-free, use coconut cream and dairy-free cream cheese but texture will differ.
