### Ingredients for Low Carb Cheesy Hamburger Soup
– **1 lb ground beef** (you can also use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option)
– **1 tablespoon olive oil** (or any cooking oil of your choice)
– **1 medium onion**, diced
– **2 cloves garlic**, minced
– **1 cup cauliflower florets**, chopped into small pieces (this replaces potatoes for a low-carb option)
– **1 medium zucchini**, diced
– **1/2 cup celery**, chopped
– **4 cups beef broth** (or chicken broth for a lighter option)
– **1/2 teaspoon dried thyme**
– **1/2 teaspoon dried basil**
– **Salt and pepper**, to taste
– **1 cup heavy cream** (for a creamy, rich texture)
– **2 cups shredded cheddar cheese** (or any cheese of your choice)
– **1/4 cup cream cheese** (optional, for added creaminess)
– **Fresh parsley** (optional, for garnish)
#### Step 1: Brown the Ground Beef
Start by heating **olive oil** in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the **ground beef** and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it’s browned and fully cooked through (about **5-7 minutes**). Drain any excess grease if necessary, then remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.
#### Step 3: Add the Broth and Seasonings
Return the **ground beef** to the pot with the vegetables. Pour in the **beef broth** and stir in the **dried thyme**, **dried basil**, **salt**, and **pepper**. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for **15-20 minutes**, allowing the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften.
Step 4: Add the Cream and Cheese
Once the vegetables are tender, reduce the heat to low and stir in the **heavy cream** and **cream cheese** (if using). Let it simmer for an additional **5 minutes** until the cream cheese melts and the soup becomes creamy.
