Notes
ℹ Spicy Jalapeño Twist:
Add a kick of heat by incorporating finely diced jalapeños to the soup. The spicy zing of jalapeños pairs wonderfully with the creamy cheese and bacon, creating a soup with a bold and exciting flavor profile.
ℹ Loaded "Potato" Soup:
Transform the Keto Cheesy Bacon Soup into a low-carb version of a loaded potato soup by adding chopped cooked cauliflower florets and a dollop of sour cream to each serving. You'll get all the comforting flavors without the excess carbs.
ℹ Mushroom Magic:
For mushroom lovers, consider sautéing some sliced mushrooms in butter and adding them to the soup. The earthy and savory taste of mushrooms will elevate the dish to new heights.
