Everything you need to know about this recipe
Carnivore soups have become a staple in the American low‑carb and keto community as a way to combine high‑fat, high‑protein ingredients into a comforting, warming bowl. They echo traditional bone‑broth soups but replace vegetables with meat and dairy for maximum satiety.
In the Midwest, creamy chicken soups often feature corn and potatoes, while Southern versions add okra or hot sauce. The carnivore version strips away the carbs, focusing on cheese, cream cheese, and rich broth for a truly indulgent take.
It is typically served hot in a bowl, topped with crispy bacon and sometimes a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Many enthusiasts pour it into insulated travel mugs like the Tasty mug to keep it hot for hours while on the go.
Carnivore soups are popular during cold‑weather gatherings, holiday meals, and post‑workout recovery because they provide quick, dense calories and electrolytes without carbs.
The beef egg‑drop soup combines the rich, beefy flavor of ground beef with the delicate silkiness of egg ribbons, creating a protein‑packed broth that stays satisfying without any vegetables or grains.
Common errors include overheating the cheese which can cause it to separate, not seasoning enough before the broth boils, and adding the eggs to a boiling pot which results in curdled egg instead of ribbons.
Air‑frying renders the fat evenly and produces a uniformly crisp texture without the need for excess oil, keeping the bacon low‑carb and perfectly crunchy for topping the soups.
Yes, both soups can be prepared a day ahead. Store each in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to five days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of broth if the soup has thickened.
