Description

Enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness of The Best Cheeseburger Soup – the perfect comfort food that combines all the flavors of a classic cheeseburger in a hearty, satisfying soup dish. Ideal for chilly evenings, this easy-to-make cheeseburger soup is packed with ground beef, potatoes, cheese, and a flavorful broth, making it a family favorite for dinner or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk or heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: chopped green onions, extra shredded cheese, crispy bacon bits

Instructions

  1. Begin by dicing the onion and potatoes, and mincing the garlic. Prepare all your ingredients so they are ready for cooking.
  2. In a large pot, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Remove excess fat if necessary. Add diced onions and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant.
  3. Stir in the diced potatoes and pour in the beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  4. Once the potatoes are cooked, stir in butter, shredded cheddar cheese, and milk or heavy cream. Continue stirring until cheese is melted and the soup turns creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions, additional shredded cheese, or crispy bacon bits. Pair with crusty bread or a green salad for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, use skim milk or Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream.
  • Add extra vegetables like carrots or celery for added nutrition and flavor.
  • Use freshly grated cheese for the best melting and flavor.
