Ingredients

Scale

Here’s what you’ll need to make Easy Cheeseburger Soup:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
  • Crispy bacon for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Cook the Ground Beef:

  1. Brown the Beef: In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Break it up into small pieces as it cooks.
  2. Drain the Fat: Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat and set the meat aside.

Prepare the Soup Base:

  1. Sauté the Onion and Garlic: In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Make a Roux: Add the flour to the onions and garlic, stirring constantly to form a paste. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  3. Add the Broth: Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring to combine with the roux. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Add the Potatoes and Simmer:

  1. Cook the Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the pot, and let the soup simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  2. Add Milk and Cream: Once the potatoes are cooked, add the milk and heavy cream, stirring to incorporate.

Finish the Soup:

  1. Add Beef and Cheese: Stir the cooked ground beef back into the pot along with the shredded cheddar cheese. Continue to cook over low heat until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
  2. Season: Add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasonings as needed.

Garnish and Serve:

  1. Garnish: Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped green onions and crispy bacon if desired for extra flavor and crunch.
