Our Keto Cheeseburger Soup with Bacon has all the flavors of my favorite burger but it’s perfect for chilly nights and so filling! My family devours this low carb soup recipe and I bet yours will too!
I’m all about a big juicy burger and this keto bacon cheeseburger soup totally delivers on all those flavors, all wrapped up in a bowl of soup.
This soup recipe is really easy to throw together and it’s really big on flavor and very filling. Ready in less than an hour, hearty and cheesy, and perfect for a chilly night. We’re obsessed.
My husband tends to be a little skeptical of soups because he doesn’t think they’ll fill him up, but this one does the trick. When he hears the words bacon cheeseburger soup, he’s all in!
Same goes for our keto taco soup. It’s just as easy, loaded with taco flavor, and perfect for a cool night – or anytime a taco craving hits!
We make this bacon cheeseburger soup on the stove. It takesa bout 15 minutes of hands on time and then the soup just simmers away for 20 or so minutes, until you’re ready to dig in!

Ground Beef – You can use either lean ground beef or a fattier blend, you’ll drain the grease after browning the meat either way.
Garlic & Onion – A must for any good soup recipe!
Diced Tomatoes – Keep things simple and just use a can of diced tomatoes here! No need to drain the tomatoes.
Beef Broth – Use a good quality beef broth or stock as the base of your soup.
Worcestershire Sauce – It doesn’t take much of this to add lots of savory flavor to just about any recipe. It really enhances the taste of this cheeseburger soup! Some brands have added sugar but they are mostly all still low carb.
Seasoning – You’ll add in some seasoned salt, mustard powder, dried dill, and minced parsley.
Heavy Cream – This will help to thicken up the soup and it’ll add even more of that great creamy flavor.
Cheese – To get all that cheesy flavor into this keto cheeseburger soup you’ll add in cream cheese and grated cheddar cheese!
Toppings- We like to top our soup with crumbled bacon (hello, it’s bacon cheeseburger soup!), shredded cheddar, and diced tomatoes and/or dill pickles. Check out this easy air fryer bacon recipe! It’s a great way to prepare bacon.
