Beef

Ingredients

1 small cauliflower head, riced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound ground beef

1/2 medium sweet onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

2 cups beef stock

1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce

3/4 cup heavy cream

8 ounces cream cheese, diced and at room temperature

1/2 cup grated parmesan

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

1. To make the cauliflower beef cream cheese soup: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the beef as it cooks with a wooden spoon.

2. Add onion to the pot, and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in garlic, riced cauliflower, and Italian seasoning and cook about 3 minutes.

3. Gradually whisk in beef stock and tomato sauce. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 6-8 minutes.

4. Stir in heavy cream, cream cheese, and parmesan until melted, about 3 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Ladle the cauliflower beef cream cheese soup into bowls, garnish with more herbs if you like, and serve immediately.
