🥣 Carnivore French Beef Soup
🧂 Ingredients:
2 lbs (900 g) beef chuck roast or short ribs
4 cups beef bone broth (preferably homemade)
2 tbsp beef tallow or butter
1 cup shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese (or mix with mozzarella for meltiness)
Salt to taste
Optional: black pepper (technically not strict carnivore, so omit if desired)
Optional: 1–2 tbsp heavy cream (for extra richness)
🥘 Instructions:
Sear the Beef
Heat tallow or butter in a heavy pot over medium-high heat.
Cut beef into chunks, season with salt, and sear on all sides until browned.
Simmer
Pour in the bone broth.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to low and simmer for 2–3 hours (or until meat is tender and easily shredded).
Optionally, add cream for extra fat and smoothness.
Shred the Meat
Remove beef, shred it with forks, and return it to the broth. Adjust salt to taste.
Assemble
Pour soup into bowls.
Top generously with shredded cheese.
Place bowls under a broiler for 2–3 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve
Serve hot, optionally with a slice of toasted carnivore bread (made from egg and cheese) or simply as-is for strict carnivore.
🍞 Optional Carnivore Bread (for dipping)

2 eggs
½ cup shredded mozzarella
1 tbsp cream cheese
Pinch of salt
Directions:
Blend all ingredients until smooth.
Pour onto a parchment-lined pan and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes until golden.
Slice and toast in butter before serving.
