Cheeseburger soup is a creamy, cheesy, and hearty comfort food that combines the savory flavors of a classic cheeseburger with the warmth of a homemade soup. It features ground beef, tender potatoes, and melted cheese in a rich, velvety broth.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth (or beef broth)
  • 3 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup heavy cream or milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
  • Chopped green onions or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, melt the butter. Add chopped onions, carrots, and celery, and sauté until tender.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Sprinkle in the flour and stir constantly for about 1 minute to form a roux.
  5. Gradually pour in the broth while stirring. Add diced potatoes and bring to a simmer.
  6. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 10–12 minutes.
  7. Return the cooked beef to the pot. Stir in heavy cream (or milk) and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until cheese is melted and soup is creamy.
  8. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika to taste.
  9. Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions or parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use sharp cheddar for the best flavor, or substitute with Colby Jack or American cheese.
  • For a lighter version, use ground turkey and low-fat milk.
  • Mash some potatoes in the soup for a thicker consistency.
  • Add other vegetables like corn, bell peppers, or zucchini for variety.
  • Soup can be frozen after cooling and reheated later with a splash of broth or milk.
