Mind-Blowing Instant Pot Keto Cheeseburger Soup

You may be wondering how on earth does a cheeseburger in soup form taste? Those who are willing to give this instant pot cheeseburger soup recipe a try will be in for a pleasant surprise because it’s a brilliant way to change up your meals. Lean ground beef and thin slices of bacon add a strong, savory flavor to the beef broth or stock, while the yellow mustard, garlic powder, and smoked paprika give it the ‘cheeseburger’ flavor. Without cheese, this recipe wouldn’t be complete so there are two types of cheese in there for good measure because in my house, you can never have too much cheese. Whenever I have guests over, this is one of my go-to recipes because no one ever expects me to make cheeseburger soup but they all love it from the first bite.
