It happened. They packed up my house. The move from Hawaii to Virginia has begun. Oddly enough, amiss the madness I found solace in creating new recipes, recipes like this nightshade free, dairy free, delicious KETO HAMBURGER SOUP!
With zero food props or even decent plates to photograph in. I made do. I even had to borrow the pot that I used to cook this recipe in from my neighbor. But so worth it, this keto hamburger soup is one of my most beloved creation.
For those of you who don’t know, I’m a military spouse. My husband is active duty Navy and we’ve been living in Hawaii for the past three years. Next month we’re on to the next duty station, in DC. We found a great townhouse in Alexandria, VA, and holy shit, this is really happening.
Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
Through this move, despite all my efforts, I am seeing some inflammation creep in. This has me livid. I’ve been inflammation and flare-free for a long time. This nightshade and dairy free, mostly nut free, paleo but also keto with a splash of Whole30 and AIP mixed in way of eating I have created for myself has been the most transformative stuff ever. So I’m kinda mad about this hot, red, tender knuckle on my left hand.
I am also aware that STRESS IS A KILLER. Sometimes there will be things you can’t control and I just have to cope. One thing is for sure, my eating habits remain unchanged. This keto hamburger soup is just the kind of meal I would eat anytime. Its packed with goodness, it’s anti-inflammatory, and it’s tasty AF.
So, red spot or not… I’m going to keep calm and carry on. Trust the process and the work I’ve put in. Trust that once things settle down, so will my stress levels and inflammatory symptoms. Besides, my worst day today, is still better than my best day 3 years ago!
Tastes Like A Whole30 Approved Whopper
Seriously, this keto hamburger soup tastes like you threw a burger in a blender. It’s got all the savory, juicy, fatty, saucy, tangy taste. My husband was a huge fan. He even says to remind you all to make a double batch! This recipe creates two large bowls… which apparently wasn’t enough for my household, so you have been warned!
What Are Nightshades?
Tomatoes, Potatoes, Eggplant and any kind of pepper (not peppercorns, but chili pepper, paprika etc). If you hadn’t noticed, I don’t cook with them ever. They are very inflammatory to me. I haven’t had them in three years. It IS doable. My cookbook, Made Whole is also nightshade free. More info on them. HERE.

Been following for a while, but this is the first recipe I’ve tried. Truly did not disappoint. Even my skeptical daughter said I have to make this again.

I have made this twice now. The first time, I thought it was good, although a tad salty. I thought that topping soup with sliced pickles and shredded lettuce was weird and so I left them off. It was good, we liked it, so I put it in our menu rotation.
The second time, I left out the salt–much better! Then I decided to live a little and add the pickles and lettuce topping. Oh, My Goodness, SO GOOD! This went from good to fantastic in the 30 seconds it took me to slice those pickles. YUM! Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it!
