Instructions:
- Cut the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
- Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower. Cut the cauliflower into small florets.
- In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, cook the bacon pieces over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, leaving the bacon fat in the pot.
- Add the ground beef to the same pot. Cook over medium-high heat until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Use a spoon to break the meat into smaller pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Add the cauliflower florets to the pot with the ground beef. Stir well to combine.
- Pour in the chicken broth and almond milk. Stir in the dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Simmer uncovered for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender when pierced with a fork.
- Stir in the heavy whipping cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted and the soup is smooth and creamy.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with the crispy bacon pieces. Optionally, you can garnish with additional shredded cheese or fresh parsley.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious, keto-friendly bacon cheeseburger soup!

Keto bacon soup FAQ:
Keto Bacon Soup is not baked; it is simmered on the stovetop. After bringing the mixture to a boil, you'll simmer it uncovered for about 10-15 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, warm it on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of broth or water if needed to restore creaminess.
You can substitute almond milk with coconut milk or any unsweetened plant-based milk. If you prefer cow's milk, half-and-half can also work, but it may alter the keto aspect.
The cauliflower is done when it is tender enough to be pierced easily with a fork, which usually takes about 10-15 minutes of simmering after adding it to the soup.
Yes, you can substitute cheddar cheese with other cheeses like Monterey Jack, Gouda, or cream cheese, but the flavor and texture may vary slightly.
Tips:
- For a thicker soup, reduce the amount of chicken broth or let the soup simmer longer to evaporate some liquid.
- Add a few dashes of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you like extra heat.
- For additional flavor, cook the ground beef in the bacon grease left in the pot after cooking the bacon.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions for a pop of color and extra flavor.
- If you want a smoother texture, consider blending a portion of the soup and then mixing it back in.
