This is a guaranteed hit with my hubby, he always wants seconds!

Balancing a busy work schedule and a commitment to healthy eating can be challenging, but this low carb cheesy hamburger soup is a lifesaver! It’s got all the comforting flavors of a cheeseburger wrapped up in a warm and hearty bowl, minus the carbs. This dish is perfect for those chilly Midwest nights when you crave something that’s both satisfying and nourishing. Plus, it’s straightforward enough to whip up after a long day at the office.
This soup pairs wonderfully with a simple side salad or some roasted vegetables for a complete meal. If you’re not strictly low carb, a slice of crusty bread or some garlic bread on the side would be a fantastic addition to soak up all the cheesy goodness. For a fun twist, serve it in a bread bowl for those carb-inclusive family members.

Ingredients
1 lb ground beef

3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, diced
2 cups beef broth

Directions

Directions

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook until they become translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and diced bell pepper to the pot, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
3. Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Continue to cook until the beef is browned and cooked through.
4. Pour in the beef broth and diced tomatoes (with their juice), stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Italian seasoning, heavy cream, and shredded cheddar cheese. Continue to stir until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is creamy.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook on low for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

7. Serve hot, garnished with finely chopped parsley if desired.
Variations & Tips
For a different flavor profile, you can swap out the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken. If you like a bit of heat, consider adding some diced jalapenos or a pinch of red pepper flakes. Want more veggies in your soup? Toss in some spinach or kale during the last few minutes of cooking. For those who prefer a thicker soup, blend a portion of the soup and return it to the pot to enhance the texture.
