Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Dairy

  • 6 thick-cut bacon strips, chopped
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 4 oz cream cheese, full-fat
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Pantry and Seasonings

  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp French mustard
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups beef stock

Garnish

  • Chopped fresh parsley
  • Reserved cooked bacon pieces

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon. Grab a large pot and place it over medium-high heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until it is crispy and browned, about 5-8 minutes. Once done, remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pot.
  2. Sauté the ground beef. Add the unsalted butter to the pot and let it melt in the bacon fat. Then add the lean ground beef and cook it until browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  3. Add flavorings and cream cheese. Stir in the cream cheese, tomato paste, French mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly to blend the flavors and melt the cream cheese into the beef mixture.
  4. Simmer with liquids. Pour in the beef stock and heavy cream, stirring well. Let the soup simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to combine all ingredients and warm through.
  5. Add cheddar cheese. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and mix thoroughly to prevent clumping. Allow the soup to simmer for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and the soup thickens slightly.
  6. Combine bacon and thicken. Return most of the cooked bacon pieces to the pot, reserving some for garnish. Stir to incorporate. Allow the soup to cool and thicken for 7-8 minutes off the heat for the best texture.
  7. Garnish and serve. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the reserved crispy bacon pieces and chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the best creamy texture and to keep carbs low.
  • For a leaner soup, substitute turkey bacon for pork bacon and use ground turkey instead of beef.
  • If beef stock is unavailable, vegetable stock is a good plant-based alternative.
  • Unsweetened almond milk can be used instead of heavy cream for a lighter soup, though it will be less rich.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This soup can be reheated gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to maintain a smooth texture.
