Serves: 4–6
Cook Time: ~30 minutes
Ingredients
1 lb (450 g) ground beef (80/20 for best richness)
1 tbsp butter or beef tallow
3 cups beef broth (bone broth preferred)
1 cup heavy cream
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella for milder taste)
4 oz cream cheese, cubed (very important for creaminess)
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
½ tsp onion powder (optional)
¼ tsp paprika (optional, for warmth)
Optional Carnivore Add-Ins
Crispy bacon bits on top
Extra cheese for serving
Egg yolk stirred in at the end (ultra-rich!)
Instructions
Brown the Beef
In a large pot over medium heat, add butter or tallow.
Add ground beef and cook until browned and juicy.
Do NOT drain the fat — this is flavor.
Build the Soup Base
Pour in beef broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Make It Creamy
Lower heat.
Add cream cheese cubes and stir until fully melted and smooth.
Slowly pour in heavy cream while stirring.
Cheese Time
Add shredded cheese gradually.
Stir until melted and the soup becomes thick, creamy, and rich.
Final Touch
Simmer on low for 5–7 minutes (do not boil).
Taste and adjust salt.
