👨🍳 How To Make

💡Tips
1. Adjust the Consistency
If you like a thicker soup, you can let it simmer for a bit longer to reduce and concentrate the flavors. Alternatively, you could add a bit more cream. If you prefer a thinner soup, you can add more broth.
Remember that the soup will thicken slightly as it cools, so it’s often best to err on the side of a little too thin while it’s still hot. You can always adjust the thickness later by adding more cream or simmering it down.
2. Experiment with Toppings
While the recipe suggests crumbled bacon as a topping, don’t be afraid to get creative with other carnivore-friendly additions.
Crispy pork rinds can add a nice crunch. You could also try crumbling some hard cheese on top, like aged cheddar or parmesan, if you tolerate dairy well. Another option is to fry up some additional sausage until it’s extra crispy and use that as a topping.
If you’re not strictly following a carnivore diet, you could consider adding some finely chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor.
