Creamy Keto Soup with Bacon, Sausage, and Mushrooms
This creamy keto soup is packed with flavor from the bacon, sausage, and mushrooms. It's a hearty and satisfying meal that's perfect for a cold winter night.
This soup was inspired by a dish I had at a restaurant in the mountains of North Carolina. It was a cold and rainy day, and I was looking for something warm and comforting to eat. The soup was everything I hoped for and more. It was creamy, rich, and full of flavor. I knew I had to recreate it at home, so I experimented with different ingredients and flavors until I came up with this recipe.
