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 is a great soup! I left out the pickles and I used 1 10oz can of Rotelle Original (diced tomatoes with green chili’s) in place of the tomato. It was delicious!

Jean says
Made it and it came out great! I did end up adding some xanthum gum as I like a thicker soup. Next time I think I’ll add some jalapeños or chili’s for heat.
Angie says
Loved this recipe! Being from New Mexico, we plan to add some green chile next time for a true Green Chile Bacon Cheeseburger taste! I do have one question, though. Has anyone frozen this for later? If so, how does it come out? Thanks!

Made the Bacon Cheeseburger Soup, one word describes this soup; awesomeness!
Simple ingredients and full of flavor. This is a must- try healthy, Keto comfort food. I used a few substitutions. 1/2 & 1/2 for. The heavy cream and 4 slices of bacon instead of 8. This is a keeper. Thanks
PS. I purchased 30 minute Ketogenic and The Cookbook.
