Keto Cheesy Taco Soup:
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilis, and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with your choice of avocado, cilantro, sour cream, or extra cheese.
Cheesy Mash:
Steam the cauliflower florets until very tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Transfer the steamed cauliflower to a food processor. Add the heavy cream and butter, blending until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
