FAQ: Hearty and Creamy Carnivore Soup
Welcome to the Hearty and Creamy Carnivore Soup FAQ section, where I tackle your burning questions and a few you didn’t even know you had! Whether you’re wondering if you can freeze this soup—or bathe in it—I’ve got the answers. So grab a spoon, sit back, and let’s dive into the deliciously absurd world of carnivore soup curiosities!
Can I use a different type of meat instead of ground beef?
Absolutely! While ground beef is the star of this show, you can swap it out for ground pork, chicken, or even reindeer if you’re feeling adventurous. Just make sure it’s cooked thoroughly before blending.
I’m lactose intolerant. Can I still make this soup?
I feel your pain! You can try substituting the cream cheese with a lactose-free cream cheese alternative, and the Parmesan is basically naturally lactose-free. The soup should still be deliciously creamy and flavorful.
Is this soup keto-friendly?
You betcha! This hearty soup is jam-packed with protein and satisfying fats, making it a perfect fit for a keto diet. Just watch out for any sneaky carbs hiding in your bone broth. (That’s why it’s best to use homemade broth.)
Can I freeze the leftovers?
Yes, you can! Just make sure to let the soup cool completely before transferring it into an airtight container. It should keep in the freezer for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, thaw it overnight in the fridge and reheat gently on the stove.
My soup turned out too thick. What should I do?
No worries! Just add a bit more bone broth until you reach your desired consistency. Remember, soup is like life: sometimes you need to go with the flow.
Can I add vegetables to this soup?
Whoa there, veggie lover! This is a carnivore soup, so we’re keeping it strictly meaty. But if you absolutely must, a few low-carb veggies like zucchini or cauliflower won’t hurt. Just don’t feed it to the carnivore purists!
I blended my soup, but now it looks like a meat smoothie. Is that normal?
Totally normal! This soup is meant to be smooth and creamy, so a meat smoothie is exactly what you’re aiming for. Just don’t try to drink it with a straw. Trust me on this one. If you want to make it look less-smoothiey, garnish it with grated Parmesan and a few sprigs of your favorite herb.
Can I use this soup as a dip for my steak?
Now that’s thinking outside the bowl! This soup would make a decadent dip for steak, grilled chicken, or even bacon. Just be prepared for some serious flavor overload.
Will eating this soup make me grow muscles overnight?
While I can’t promise instant muscles, the high protein content will definitely help fuel your gains. Pair this soup with a good workout routine, and you’ll be flexing in no time!
Can I bathe in this soup?
While it might sound tempting to immerse yourself in a vat of creamy, meaty goodness, I recommend keeping this soup strictly for eating. Your bathtub might not appreciate the cleanup!
Can I use this soup as a weapon in a food fight?
Technically, yes, but I’d hate to see such deliciousness go to waste. Plus, cleaning up creamy soup splatters is no fun. Stick to boiled potatoes for your food-fighting needs—they are chock-full of antinutrients and inferior for human consumption, so they make perfect weapons!
Enjoy your Hearty and Creamy Carnivore Soup, and don’t forget to share the love (and the laughs) with your fellow soup enthusiasts!
Step-by-Step Instructions: Hearty and Creamy Carnivore Soup
Grab a large saucepan and add 1 tablespoon of butter or tallow.
Melt it over medium-high heat.
Toss in 1 lb (450 g) of ground beef…
…and cook…
…until it’s crumbled and browned. No pink allowed!
Pour in 1 1/2 cups (350 ml) of bone broth and bring it to a simmer. Let the jacuzzi begin!
Add 8 oz (230 g) of cream cheese to the saucepan.
Stir like an orchestra conductor until it’s fully melted and incorporated.
Let the soup simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes. This is where the magic happens, and the flavors get cozy.
Sprinkle in 1 cup (240 ml) of grated Parmesan and stir until it melts into cheesy perfection. Season with unrefined sea salt to taste.
Puree the soup using an immersion blender or a regular blender until it’s smooth and creamy.
Think meat smoothie, but way tastier.
Ladle the soup into serving plates and enjoy immediately. For extra flair, sprinkle more grated Parmesan on top just before serving. Bon appétit!
How I Came Up with This Easy Carnivore Soup Recipe
Even though this winter has been more of a lukewarm hug than a frosty embrace, I was craving a hearty, hot soup—preferably something pureed to keep things smooth and cozy. But here’s the kicker: I’m on a carnivore diet, so all those usual veggie purees were a no-go. And yes, I know I’ve posted a gazillion pureed veggie soups on this blog, but this time, it had to be all-animal all the way.
So, I put on my thinking cap (which is actually just a beanie) and decided to go with bone broth for the liquid and ground beef for the meat—easy to puree and packed with nutrients. Since I can handle dairy like a champ, I wanted to make my soup creamy, but heavy cream felt too bland and “meh.” Enter cream cheese, my tangy hero! And because more cheese is always a good idea, I threw in some grated Parmesan for extra flavor and pizzazz.
I gathered all my ingredients and got to cooking, snapping photos like the dedicated food photographer I am. The first batch was delicious, but I had used 2 cups (470 ml) of bone broth, and it made the soup a bit too runny for my liking. For the final recipe, I dialed back the bone broth, and voilà! The soup was now as thick and hearty as I dreamed. It turned out incredibly delicious and oh-so-satisfying!
Here’s the recipe for you to enjoy:

Tips for Variations
Ready to take your Hearty and Creamy Carnivore Soup to the next level? Whether you’re sticking strictly to a carnivore diet or dabbling in keto, I’ve got some delicious variations and seasoning suggestions to keep your taste buds on their toes. From adding a touch of spice to experimenting with different meats and cheeses, these tips will help you customize your soup to perfection.
Keto Variations:
1. Add Veggies: If you’re on a keto diet and can handle some greens, toss in a cup (240 ml) of cubed zucchini or cauliflower florets. They blend in seamlessly and add extra flavor without skyrocketing your blood sugar.
2. Spice it Up: Add a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, or Cajun seasoning to give your soup a flavor boost. A dash of red pepper flakes can also add a nice kick if you like some heat.
3. Herb Infusion: Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can be added while simmering to infuse the soup with aromatic goodness. You can fish them out before blending or leave them in—your choice.
4. Cream Swap: If you’re looking to switch things up, try using coconut cream instead of cream cheese for a different creamy flavor and texture.
Carnivore Variations:
1. Bacon Bliss: Add some crumbled cooked bacon on top for an extra layer of meaty goodness. Because bacon makes everything better.
2. Bone Marrow Boost: Add some grilled or cooked bone marrow for a richer flavor profile. You get some more nutrients, too!
3. Blue Cheese Blues: If you can handle more dairy, sprinkle some crumbled blue cheese on top just before serving. Extra cheesy and tangy, extra delicious.
4. Seasoning Simplicity: Stick to the basics with salt, but feel free to experiment with different types of salt, like Himalayan pink salt or smoked sea salt for a subtle flavor twist.
5. Meat Medley: Swap the ground beef for ground lamb or pork for a different flavor experience. Or mix them together for a carnivore party in your mouth.
No matter which variation you choose, these tips will help you keep your Hearty and Creamy Carnivore Soup exciting and delicious every time you make it!

So, about that potential €15,000 fine—still no news from the local authorities. They must be scratching their heads in confusion!
On a brighter note, I’ve been swamped with my Finnish clean keto online store. Packing orders like a madwoman, I also introduced a new product: sugar beet fiber flakes. Okay, technically not “new” since a brand called Fibrex was around for decades before vanishing into thin air. I used to love those flakes in my keto granola (yes, sugar beet fiber is super low in carbs).
Last year, I put on my detective hat and investigated why this beloved product disappeared. Turns out, it got too pricey to produce. Undeterred, I scoured Europe and finally found another manufacturer making identical sugar beet fiber flakes. Eureka!
I ordered massive bags, repackaged them into handy 150-gram (5.3oz) bags under my own brand, and launched them in my store. This weekend, they’re on a massive discount and selling like hotcakes!
