4 slices uncured beef bacon chopped
1 pound 90% lean ground beef
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (we used Organic Valley Unsalted Cultured Butter)
1 yellow onion chopped
3 large cloves garlic crushed
4 cups low-sodium beef broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon dill pickle juice
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature (we used Organic Valley Cream cheese)
4 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded and divided (we used Organic Valley Sharp Cheddar Cheese)
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (we used Organic Valley)
1 tablespoon parsley freshly minced

Heat a 5-quart soup pot over high heat. Once hot, add the bacon and cook until crispy, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use a slotted spoon to transfer half the bacon to a bowl and set aside for garnish.
To the same pot over high heat, add the ground beef, butter, onion, and garlic. Cook until the meat is browned, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the beef broth, tomato paste, dill pickle juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, and then cover the pot, turn the heat down to simmer, and cook 15 minutes.
Stir in the cream cheese until smooth. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese a handful at a time until fully incorporated. Turn off the heat and stir in the cream and parsley.
Serve garnished with the crispy bacon, remaining cheese, and any additional toppings you want.

Nutritional Information: The nutrition information for this recipe was calculated without the optional garnish ideas for topping.
Pickle Juice: The pickle juice sounds weird, but don’t skip it! It helps create a balanced flavor profile here, and adds to the cheeseburger flavor of the soup.
Tomato Paste Substitute: Instead of tomato paste, you could use your favorite low carb ketchup.
Freezer Friendly: This soup freezes very well! We recommend freezing it in single-serving glass containers. To reheat it, thaw it to room temperature, and then reheat in a saucepan on the stovetop over low heat.
Optional Garnish Ideas: Minced red onion, sliced scallion, diced tomato, minced dill pickle, and/or fresh parsley leaves.
