Pancetta Cheeseburger Soup Recipe Review
I got this recipe off of FastPaleo.com and it was DELISH! We ate it with some yummy gluten free grilled cheeses! (well the kids and the DH did, I can live without)
Serves 4 (but we had 2 servings left over) It says takes 40 minutes, but real time was about 2 hours.
Ingredients
1 lb lean ground beef
13 oz of Pancetta sliced thin in 1" pieces (I used bacon)
4 cups beef stock (I used about 4.5 cups)
1.5 cups of Half and Half (I had whole cream so I cut it with a little milk)
1.5 Onions (I was OUT so I used onion flakes and about 1/2 a large yellow onion)
1 cup of carrots
1 cup of celery
1 tbsp bacon grease (didn't need it)
1.5 jalapenos
1/2 tbsp cayenne
4 tbsp almond flour (I used tapioca starch)
Salt and Pepper to taste.
2 cups shredded cheddar
Cooking Directions
ENJOY!

4 tbsp almond flour (I used tapioca starch)

2 cups shredded cheddar
Cooking Directions
Cooking Steps
1. Dice your onions, celery and carrots and your jalapeño.
2. Next cut your pancetta into one inch pieces and fry them
until crispy in the bottom of a large pot or Dutch oven. Once crispy, remove
them from the pot with a slotted spoon.
3. Now fry up your jalapeños in the remaining bacon fat
until soft.
4. Add in your ground beef until browned. The onions should
also be translucent.
5. Once the ground beef has been browned, add in the celery,
carrots, and onions until softened.
6. Add the cayenne pepper, salt and pepper.
7. Add in all of your beef stock. You may need more than
what is listed.
8. Now let it all simmer for at least 30 minutes. The
longer, the better.
9. Add in your cream and stir after the 30 minutes.
10. Now in a separate container put your almond flour and
about twice as much water. Mix well and pour into the soup.
11. NOTE: Do not put the flour directly into the soup. This
will make it clump up
12. Bring everything back to a boil until thickened. You
might need to add more flour, or cream if you like it thicker. Or water if you
want it thinner.
13. Lastly, take it off the heat,wait for it to stop boiling
and then add your shredded cheese.
Alright, so it was really good, surprisingly good even, because I will admit when I was making it I was scratching my head a bit prepared to call for take out. That being said, 2 hours for a dang soup....ehhhhh maybe not. But again if you are a soup lover it was quite tasty.
ENJOY!
