Keto Cream Of Bacon Soup. A while ago a new Italian butcher shop opened near me and they have & smoke their own jowl bacon (guanciale). I bought some and have eaten nothing but this bacon ever since. I never know or can remember when something enters my brain or strikes my fancy but this is one of those recipes. It just seemed too easy to be true but…it is. You will use your own favorite bacon and in fact if you can make a Creamed Soup of any kind you can certainly make this fabulous keto cream of bacon soup.
