Cheeseburger Soup

      So this soup is not completely carb-free, not at all. It's just low enough per portion that I don't care. and that's how it is around here, we're reducing, and enjoying life. So I don't use keto ketchup. This recipe has a tablespoon of ketchup which totals 4 carbs, and is 4 servings so it adds one carb per bowl. The processed cheese adds a few more, but still low enough that I don't have trouble later in the day if I eat it. The cheese adds 24 carbs to the entire pot, adding 6 carbs to the individual bowl. That combined with the cauliflower adding about 4 grams a bowl we are looking at 10-11 total. For me that is close enough, esp if I've been careful all week. 

Cheeseburger Soup Recipe

3 c. water

4 beef bouillon cubes

3/4 c. heavy cream

1 Tbsp. ketchup

1 tsp. mustard 

Add the ground beef and steak seasoning to a pan and crumble and brown. When the meat is mostly cooked, add the cauliflower, water, bouillon cubes, ketchup, and mustard, and simmer until the cauliflower is just cooked.
