- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum optional

Instructions
- Cook chicken bacon until crispy. Remove from heat, chop, and set aside.
- In a medium sized soup pot, cook onion in olive oil until soft and translucent. Add garlic, continue cooking for 1 minute.
- Add ground meat, cook - breaking it up into small bits - until well browned. Stir in mustard and smoked paprika.
- Add cream cheese to the pot, stirring well to combine. Pour in broth - a little at a time - whisking to combine with the cream cheese.
- Once smooth, add remaining stock and the heavy cream. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Toss cheese with xanthan gum - if using - and add to the pot a little at a time. Stir well between additions, allowing cheese to melt before adding more.
