INGREDIENT NOTES:
BEEF:
20% fat content containing beef is used to prepare this soup according to the keto diet.
CAULIFLOWER:
Fresh florets of cauliflower are used in preparing this soup for a nice texture.
ONION:
We use yellow onions for the addition of mild sweetness and flavor.
CREAM CHEESE:
Prepare this soup with whole fat cream cheese, and we would have to use soft cream cheese to blend smoothly.
BEEF BROTH:
We use beef broth as a base ingredient, and it contains low sodium, so we can add salt ourselves.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
We use sharp cheddar cheese to prepare this soup; it adds a strong cheesy taste to the soup.
GARLIC:
Fresh garlic is used to add to this soup to deepen the flavor and aroma.
THYME:
It is added to provide the earthy and herby taste and aroma in the soup.
HEAVY CREAM:
We use heavy cream so its consistency gets thick and it also makes it smooth and creamy.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Put the oil on a moderate setting in a pan.
- Then include beef and sauté to get brown and eliminate the excess fat.
