Method

  1. Heat a large soup pot over medium-high heat and cook the bacon until it becomes crisp (approximately 10 minutes). Place the cooked bacon on a plate lined with paper towels and let it cool.

  2. In the same soup pot, add the beef and use a spatula to flatten it. Cook until the bottom is browned (around 5 minutes), then flip and cook the other side for an additional 5 minutes.

  3. Add the broth, Cheddar cheese, cream cheese, pickles, tomato paste, steak sauce, mustard, onion powder, chili powder, and black pepper to the pot. Mix everything well to combine, breaking the meat into smaller pieces.

  4. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring, until the cream cheese is melted (about 3 minutes). Cover the pot and let the soup cook for an additional 25 minutes.

  5. Serve the soup by ladling it into individual bowls. Add lettuce to each bowl and fold it into the soup. Crumble one slice of cooked bacon into each bowl and garnish with tomatoes and red onion.

  6. Make sure to select a low-carb, keto-friendly steak sauce for this recipe.
