Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 ¾ cups freshly shredded cheddar cheese

Optional Garnishes

  • Chopped green onions
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Chopped pickles

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 7–10 minutes, breaking it up evenly with a spoon as it browns. Once cooked through, drain any excess grease from the pot.
  2. Sauté the Onion: Add the diced yellow onion to the pot and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onion is softened and translucent.
  3. Add Aromatics and Seasonings: Stir in the minced garlic, dried mustard, salt, and black pepper. Cook the mixture for 1–2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the spices are well combined.
  4. Simmer with Broth: Pour in the Worcestershire sauce and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it cook uncovered for 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
  5. Add Cream and Cream Cheese: Lower the heat to prevent boiling, then stir in the heavy whipping cream and cream cheese. Continue cooking while stirring frequently until the cream cheese has fully melted and the soup is smooth and creamy.
  6. Incorporate Cheddar Cheese: Add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until it melts completely and the soup has a rich, creamy texture.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, chopped pickles, and extra shredded cheddar cheese if desired. Serve warm for the best flavor and enjoyment.

Notes

  • For extra thickness, simmer the soup longer to reduce liquid.
  • You can substitute cream cheese with mascarpone for a slightly different texture.
  • Use full-fat ingredients to keep the soup rich and keto-friendly.
  • Customize garnishes to your preference; bacon bits add a nice smoky flavor.
  • If you prefer a smoother soup, blend slightly before adding cheddar cheese.
