Ingredients
For the Soup Base
1 lb ground beef or ground lamb
1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup cauliflower florets, chopped small
½ cup celery, diced
½ cup carrots, finely diced (optional, keep small for keto)
3 cups beef broth (low-sodium)
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (sugar-free)
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried rosemary
Salt and black pepper, to taste
For Creamy Finish
½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup cream cheese, softened
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
Why these ingredients work:Ground meat provides hearty protein, while cauliflower mimics the comforting texture of potatoes. Cream and cheese add richness without adding carbs.
Ingredient Notes
Ground Meat: Traditional shepherd’s pie uses lamb, but beef works beautifully and is more budget-friendly.
Cauliflower: Finely chopped cauliflower blends seamlessly into the soup and keeps it low-carb.
Carrots: Optional and used sparingly for flavor — you can omit for ultra-strict keto.
Broth: Choose a high-quality beef broth for deeper flavor.
