How to make Keto Cheesy Bacon Soup
Time needed: 20 minutes
Make the perfect Cheesy bacon soup…
- Heat the Olive Oil
Begin by heating 3/4 of your Olive Oil in a large deep pan.
As it’s heating, toss in your garlic
When it’s hot, add in the chopped cauliflower - Add the Chicken Stock
Now pour in the 2 cups of chicken stock (I sometimes use a medium tin of chicken soup or chicken broth – just check the ingredients for additives, sugars and other non-keto ingredients, and remember to adjust any nutritional values)
Also, add 1 cup of water at this stage.
Turn the heat up to high and bring the liquid to a boil – stirring frequently. - Add Cream
As it comes to the boil, add in the heavy whipping cream and turn the heat down to medium.
- Make a thickening agent
In a seperate bowl, mix together the remaining Olive oil with the Xantham Gum.
Use a whist and do this by hand rather than a blender or food processor as you do not want to start it thickening at this point. - Combine
Drop the thickening mix into the soup and stir it well.
it will start to thicken… - Add cheese
As the soup begins to thicken, add your cheddar cheese – not all at once, but stir in a little at a time, allowing each to melt into the soup.
- Finish with Bacon
When your cheese is all in, finally, add the bacon bits.
Whisk these in to distribute them well.
Serve hot emmediately and enjoy!
Serving Suggestions:
Garlic Butter Croutons:
Enhance the soup’s texture and add a delightful crunch by serving it with homemade garlic butter croutons.
Simply cube some keto-friendly bread, toss it with melted butter and minced garlic, and bake until golden brown and crispy.
Broccoli and Cheddar Dip:
Transform this soup into a party favorite by using it as a dipping sauce for steamed broccoli florets.
The combination of cheesy bacon goodness with the earthy taste of broccoli creates an unbeatable appetizer or side dish.
Keto-Friendly Garlic Bread:
Pair the Keto Cheesy Bacon Soup with garlic and herb breadsticks for a complete and comforting meal.
The buttery and garlicky flavors will complement the soup beautifully.

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.
