Oh yes! Cheeseburger soup is creamy, hearty, and tastes just like a cheeseburger in a bowl. Here’s a classic, easy-to-follow recipe:
Ingredients (serves 6–8)
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups diced potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes)
- 2 cups shredded carrots (or 2 medium carrots, diced)
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter version)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Optional garnish: chopped green onions, extra shredded cheese, or cooked bacon bits
Instructions
- Cook the beef:
In a large pot, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat. - Sauté aromatics:
Add chopped onion and garlic to the beef. Cook 2–3 minutes until softened. - Add vegetables and broth:
Stir in potatoes, carrots, and celery. Pour in beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, until vegetables are tender. - Make it creamy:
In a small bowl, whisk together milk, heavy cream, and flour until smooth. Slowly stir into the soup. Simmer for 5–10 minutes until slightly thickened. - Add cheese:
Reduce heat to low and stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Taste and season with salt and pepper. - Serve:
Garnish with green onions, extra cheese, or bacon if desired. Serve warm with crusty bread or crackers.
💡 Tip: For extra cheeseburger flavor, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a little mustard to the soup while simmering.
If you want, I can give you a quick stovetop version with just 10–15 minutes prep, perfect for busy nights. Do you want that version too?
