This warm and comforting Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Soup has all the flavors of a cheeseburger, but in a rich and creamy soup. It's as though you can taste each individual condiment. And do yourself a favor and do not skip the pickles.
A bacon cheeseburger reimagined as a keto soup
Not only is this keto soup rich and filling, but it manages to capture all the flavors of a juicy, delicious cheeseburger. It's as if you can even taste each individual condiment. This Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Soup is one of my all-time favorite comfort food recipes. I am a year round soup eater. Hot or cold weather, soup always sound delicious to me. Who's with me?
An entire book of low carb soups and stews
Low carb soup recipes are my jam! In fact, I love them so much that back in 2013, I wrote an entire Slow Cooker Soups and Stews Ebook. This Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Soup is one of the recipes from that book. I've made it so many times on my Instagram, that I felt it was only fair that after all these years, I finally share it here as well.
A lot of low carb and keto soup recipes utilize xanthan gum to thicken the broth, but I prefer not to. This gluten free soup recipe is thickened with the use of cheese and heavy cream. I have always been a fan of cream based low carb soups. Actually, Who am I kidding? I am just a big fan of soup in general.
Converting this recipe for stovetop
One of the most common questions I get on a lot of my slow cooker soup recipes is how to covert them to stovetop, so for this Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Soup recipe, I gave instructions for both. However, I feel like I need to tell you that you should probably make a double batch! It is that good. Every time we make this, there are never any leftovers, no matter how much I make. In fact, I have to make triple batch in order to have some for our weekly meal planning and low carb food prep. It is one of those soup recipes that just gets better and better as the days go by. It also reheats really well!

This soup is really easy to make. I browned the meat (beef and pork) the day before and then used organic crushed seasoned tomatoes instead of a chopped onion (my husband is allergic). I let the whole thing cook on low for two hours, added the cream and shredded cheese and let it cook for another 45 minutes and called it done. We topped it with bacon and some leftover shredded cheese. My husband, who does not even like soup, ate two huge bowls.

Can I ask what the purpose is of cooking for 6 hours in slow cooker? Is it just let all the flavors blend or? I've got it in the slow cooker now but I may take it off early, hoping that will be ok! Thanks for the recipe 🙂
laurie says
I'm wondering how yours turned out with taking it out early? I want to do the same thing! 🙂
Pam R. says
You can cook it on high for half the amount of time and that is fine!

Thanks, Carol
Jen says
This was very good and filling! I modified slightly, as I don't like pickles or tomatoes, but the flavor combination was great. Thanks for your work to put together recipes for those of us not creative enough in the kitchen to come up with our own! I've also got your cookbook and love all the recipes I've tried from it too.

Looking forward to giving this recipe a try. Me and my wife have bought a couple of your books so far and they have been a tremendous help in our weight loss journey. Question, can we substitute out the heavy cream and use Greek yogurt instead? I’ve done this in my own homemade Mac n cheese and was curious if you thought it would work here?
Peace Love and Low Carb says
I cannot say as I have never tried it. If you do try it, I would love to hear the result. Thanks
Jordan says
The Greek yogurt may make the soup NOT keto.. check the sugar in your yogurt
