“The Meal I Look Forward to Every Day” — MEAT SOUP
This ultra-meaty, ultra-creamy soup is the dream bowl for carnivores and high-fat lovers. It’s made with locally sourced meats, rich dairy, and bold flavor – no veggies, no fillers, just indulgent, nourishing fuel. A zero-carb, one-pot wonder you’ll crave daily.
📋 Ingredients:
- 1 lb smoked sausage, sliced
- 1 lb chicken thighs, boneless & skinless (diced or shredded)
- 1.5 lbs thick-cut peppered bacon, chopped
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (bulk or removed from casing)
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese
- 1 quart (4 cups) heavy cream
- 2 cups water
- Hot sauce, to taste (optional – for seasoning only)
Note: All meat locally sourced from your neighborhood butcher – even better!
🧑🍳 Instructions:
- In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving some fat in the pot.
- Add breakfast sausage to the pot and cook, breaking it up into crumbles. Once browned, remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add smoked sausage slices and chicken thigh pieces, searing until browned and cooked through.
- Return all meats to the pot.
- Add cream cheese, cut into chunks, and stir until it begins to melt.
- Pour in heavy cream and water, stirring gently.
- Simmer on low heat for 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup thickens slightly and everything is heated through.
- Add hot sauce to taste and serve warm.
📝 Notes:
- Let the cream cheese come to room temperature to melt faster and prevent curdling.
- Use peppered bacon for that smoky, spicy kick.
- Soup will thicken slightly upon standing or chilling (even better the next day).
💡 Tips:
- For extra richness, add a scoop of beef tallow or butter just before serving.
- Want a thicker soup? Reduce the water or simmer longer uncovered.
- Freeze in single portions for quick daily meals.
- Stir in shredded cheese for a loaded meat & cheese soup experience.

❓ Q/A:
Q: Can I make this dairy-free?
A: Skip the cream and cream cheese; use beef or chicken broth with more bacon fat or tallow for a thinner broth-style meat soup.
Q: Can I freeze it?
A: Yes! Freeze in airtight containers for up to 2 months. Reheat gently on stove or microwave.
Q: Is this strict carnivore-approved?
A: Yes, if your version of carnivore allows cream and cheese. Omit hot sauce for stricter versions.
Q: Can I use bone-in meats?
A: Yes, simmer longer to extract flavor and remove bones before serving. Adds collagen and richness.
Q: Is it spicy?
A: Only if you add hot sauce! Adjust to your heat preference.
