Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Soup
A velvety vegan version of classic Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Soup—minus the meat, with all the comfort, flavor, and sassy plant-based goodness.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup mushrooms finely chopped (for that bacon-y bite)
- 1 cup raw cashews soaked or boiled
- 2½ cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup cauliflower chopped
- ½ cup carrots finely diced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Chopped pickles optional garnish, but let’s be honest, mandatory
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot. Sauté onion and garlic until they’re soft and trying to impress you.
- Add chopped mushrooms, cauliflower, and carrots. Cook for 5–7 minutes until they surrender to the heat.
- Toss in broth, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and nutritional yeast. Stir like you mean it.
- Simmer everything for 15 minutes, or until veggies are soft and willing.
- Meanwhile, blend soaked cashews with almond milk until smooth enough to fake being dairy.
- Add cashew mixture to the pot. Stir and blend the whole soup if you want it creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper. Toss in some chopped pickles for a cheeky garnish.
- Serve hot, with sass, and maybe a smirk.
