This creamy cheeseburger soup is rich, hearty, and loaded with ground beef, tender potatoes, veggies, and melty cheese. It’s a comforting, family-friendly dinner that tastes just like a cheeseburger in a bowl—perfect for cozy weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 3–4 baking potatoes (or 3 cups frozen/refrigerated diced potatoes)
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 cup baby carrots, chopped
  • 2 ribs celery, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 8 oz Velveeta cheese (or 1½ cups shredded cheddar)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup diced pickles (for topping)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Microwave the potatoes for 12–15 minutes until soft. Let cool, then peel and dice. Alternatively, use pre-diced cooked potatoes.
  2. In a Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, melt butter. Add onions, carrots, and celery, cooking until tender. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Add flour to the pot and stir for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the chicken stock and milk. Simmer until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Return the cooked beef and diced potatoes to the pot. Simmer until everything is heated through.
  6. Turn off the heat and stir in Velveeta or cheddar cheese and sour cream until melted and creamy.
  7. Ladle soup into bowls and top with diced pickles and extra cheese, if desired.

Notes

  • Substitute ground beef with ground turkey or spicy sausage.
  • Use shredded cheddar or a cheese blend for a sharper flavor.
  • Replace potatoes with cauliflower for a lower-carb option.
  • Use cream cheese or Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
  • Top with chopped pickles or green onions for added flavor.
