Low-Carb Comfort Food in 40 Minutes

(Under $10 per serving, 400 Calories) 

Here's what you'll need:

• For the Air-Fried Beef:
  
  

  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 fat ratio) - ($5-$7)

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder - (pennies)

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder - (pennies)

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste - (pantry staple)

• For the Soup:

  • 4 cups beef broth - ($2-$3)

  • 1 cup chopped onion - ($1)

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced - (pennies)

  • 1 cup chopped celery - ($0.50)

  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots - ($0.50)

  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained - ($1)

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream - ($1)

  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened - ($1.50)

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese - ($2)

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese - ($1)

  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano - (pennies)

  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme - (pennies)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Air Fry the Beef

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). In a medium bowl, season the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat. Spread the seasoned beef in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease from the air fryer basket using paper towels.

2. Sauté the Veggies (Optional)

While the beef cooks, you can optionally sauté the chopped onion, garlic, celery, and carrots in a large pot over medium heat with a tablespoon of olive oil (not included in cost breakdown) until softened (around 5 minutes). This step adds extra flavor but can be skipped for a faster preparation.

3. Assemble the Soup 

Add the cooked ground beef (and cooked vegetables, if using) to the pot or Dutch oven. Pour in the beef broth, diced tomatoes with their undrained juices, heavy cream, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, oregano, and thyme. Stir well to combine.

4. Simmer and Melt the Cheese

Bring the soup to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheeses are melted and the flavors meld.

Serve and Enjoy

Ladle the hot Keto Cheeseburger Soup into bowls and garnish with additional shredded cheddar cheese or chopped green onions (optional).

Tips and Variations:

• Make it Spicy

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or chopped jalapenos to the soup for a kick.

• Veggie Variations

Feel free to add your favorite keto-friendly vegetables to the soup, such as chopped broccoli, green beans, or cauliflower rice.

• Low-Carb Crackers

Pair your soup with a side of keto-friendly crackers for a satisfying dunking experience. Look for low-carb cracker options made with almond flour or coconut flour. 

This Keto Cheeseburger Soup (Air Fryer Hack!) is a fantastic way to enjoy a hearty and flavorful low-carb meal that's both budget-friendly and time-saving.
