Ah yes 😄—Cheeseburger Soup is creamy, cheesy, and loaded with all the flavors of a classic cheeseburger in a comforting bowl. Here’s a complete recipe:
🥣 Cheeseburger Soup
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
Soup Base:
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3–4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 cups shredded carrots (optional for sweetness and color)
- 4 cups chicken or beef broth
Cheese & Cream:
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk (or half-and-half for richer soup)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (to thicken)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 tsp mustard or Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor
Toppings (optional):
- Crumbled cooked bacon
- Chopped green onions
- Extra shredded cheese
Instructions
1. Cook the Beef:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned.
- Drain excess fat.
- Add diced onion and garlic, sauté 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
2. Add Vegetables & Broth:
- Add potatoes, carrots, and broth.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 15–20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
3. Make it Cheesy & Creamy:
- In a small bowl, whisk flour into milk until smooth.
- Slowly stir the milk mixture into the soup. Simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
4. Season & Serve:
- Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
- Serve hot with optional toppings like bacon, green onions, or extra cheese.
Tips for Extra Flavor
- Use sharp cheddar for a stronger cheesy flavor.
- Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or mustard to mimic classic burger flavors.
- For a thicker soup, mash some potatoes slightly in the pot or add a bit more flour.
- Serve with crusty bread or toasted buns for a full “burger” experience.
If you want, I can make a shortcut 30-minute version that tastes just as cheesy and rich but is even faster to prepare.
Do you want me to do that?
