Ingredients
  

  • ¼ Cup Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Garlic Minced
  • 1 Medium Cauliflower Head Chopped
  • 2 Cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 Cup Water
  • 1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 tsp Xantham Gum
  • Cups Cheddar Cheese Shredded
  • 4 Tbsp Bacon

Equipment

  • 1 Deep Saucepan
  • 1 Bowl

Method
 

  1. In a deep pan, heat up 3/4 of the olive oil and the garlic on medium heat. 
  2. Once hot, add in the cauliflower. 
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and water, bringing it to a boil over high heat.
  4. Once it’s boiling, stir in the heavy whipping cream then turn the heat down to medium. 
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the rest of your oil and xanthan gum to make a slurry. 
  6. Drop your slurry into the soup and stir. It should start to thicken. 
  7. Little by little, add in your cheese, stirring it into the soup so it melts.
  8. Whisk in your bacon and serve! 

Notes

ℹ Spicy Jalapeño Twist:
Add a kick of heat by incorporating finely diced jalapeños to the soup. The spicy zing of jalapeños pairs wonderfully with the creamy cheese and bacon, creating a soup with a bold and exciting flavor profile.
ℹ Loaded “Potato” Soup:
Transform the Keto Cheesy Bacon Soup into a low-carb version of a loaded potato soup by adding chopped cooked cauliflower florets and a dollop of sour cream to each serving. You’ll get all the comforting flavors without the excess carbs.
ℹ Mushroom Magic:
For mushroom lovers, consider sautéing some sliced mushrooms in butter and adding them to the soup. The earthy and savory taste of mushrooms will elevate the dish to new heights.
