    Ingredients

    This cheeseburger soup came about when I was out of potatoes and vegetables. I was also super lazy that day.

    Here is a list of ingredients that you will need to make a low carb/ keto version:

    • Ground hamburger beef meat - lean or higher content of fats
    • Butter or olive oil
    • Onion - white or red
    • Garlic
    • Broth - vegetable or beef broth
    • All-Purpose flour
    • Cream cheese
    • Cheese - cheddar or similar
    • Seasoning - salt, pepper, nutmeg, bay leaf and thyme (optional).

    If you want veggies, add the following (but it won't be low carb anymore) - 1 carrot and 1-2 potatoes.

    How to make the cheeseburger soup?

    Serving

    Serve up your cheeseburger soup with brown bread, whole wheat rolls, and similar healthier bread such as our spelt bread.

    I love the soup with refrigerator pickles at the side and/or with small pink and sharp radish and some salt.

    The soup is quite filling, making it a great option if you want to eat less or smaller quantities of food for lunch or dinner.

    Garnish with paprika and ground pepper.

    Storing

    Store soup leftovers in an airtight container in your fridge for up to 4-5 days max.

    You can batch the soup too and freeze each batch in a freezer-friendly container.

    To warm it up again, heat up over the stove top OR in the microwave in a microwave save the container.

      Hi,
      Question....would greek yogurt or sour cream work ok if I don't have cream cheese?
      Thanks

        Rosie, Cream cheese works with this recipe because it melts into the soup. I fear that greek yogurt and cour cream wouldn't be able to do this and create lumps/curdle. You could skip the cream cheese and just add a spoonful of sour cream as a serving over the soup at the end. Just don't heat up the sour cream because it will create those white little specks in the soup which doesn't look too appetizing. Hope this helps.
