Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferred)
1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 small yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 cups beef broth (low sodium)
1 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried thyme
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Brown the Beef:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
Sauté Aromatics:
Add garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Slow Cook:
Transfer beef, garlic, onion, cauliflower florets, beef broth, thyme, salt, and pepper to a crockpot. Stir to combine and cook on low for 4 hours.
Make it Creamy:
After 4 hours, stir in the softened cream cheese and heavy cream. Mix well until smooth.
Finish with Cheese:
Add shredded cheddar and cook for an additional 15 minutes until melted and well combined.
Serve:
Ladle soup into bowls, garnish with chopped parsley, green onions, or bacon bits. Enjoy warm.
Notes
Use softened cream cheese to avoid clumping.
Blend partially with an immersion blender for a smoother texture.
Swap ground turkey or chicken for beef if desired.
Add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños for a spicy version.
Great with keto garlic bread or almond flour biscuits.
