Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small head cauliflower, chopped into florets
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
- Drain any excess fat, then add diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until onions are translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add chopped cauliflower florets to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer until the cauliflower is tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender and blend in batches.
- Return the soup to the pot and stir in shredded cheddar cheese, heavy cream, and butter. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Helpful Tips
- For a smokier flavor, use smoked cheddar cheese.
- If you prefer a chunkier soup, reserve some cauliflower florets before blending and add them back afterward.
- Short on time? Use pre-cut cauliflower florets or even frozen cauliflower to speed up prep time.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Ingredient Substitutions
- Swap ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
- For a dairy-free option, use coconut cream and dairy-free cheese.
Pairings
This Low-Carb Cheeseburger Soup pairs wonderfully with a crisp green salad and a glass of sparkling water with lemon. For dessert, consider serving a light, fresh fruit salad.
