Cheeseburger Soup

A comforting blend of cheeseburger flavors in a creamy, hearty soup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 potatoes, diced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Crispy bacon, for topping
  • Chives, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brown the meat: Begin by heating a large pot over medium heat. Add your ground beef (or turkey), breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until it’s browned and no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes.
  2. Sauté the aromatics: Toss in the diced onion and cook until it’s soft and translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Add in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Add vegetables: Stir in your diced carrots and potatoes, mixing everything together. Pour in your beef broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to simmer for about 15–20 minutes until the carrots and potatoes are tender.
  4. Make it creamy: Once the veg is tender, slowly add in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring it back to a low simmer.
  5. Cheesy goodness: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Add your seasonings—salt, pepper, mustard, and paprika—and taste for seasoning adjustments.
