How to Make Cheeseburger Soup Recipe
1. Brown the Beef
In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease and set aside.
2. Sauté the Veggies
In the same pot, melt butter and sauté onions, garlic, carrots, and celery until they soften. This builds that deep, rich flavor base!
3. Cook the Potatoes
Add diced potatoes and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender.
4. Make it Creamy
In a separate small pan, melt butter and whisk in flour to make a roux. Slowly whisk in milk and heavy cream, then stir the mixture into the soup.
5. Add the Cheese
Turn the heat to low and stir in shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and the soup is rich and creamy.
6. Bring it All Together
Add the cooked ground beef back into the pot. Stir everything together, let it warm through, and season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce to taste.
7. Serve and Enjoy!
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with crispy bacon bits, extra cheese, or even some croutons, and dig in!
Pro Tips for Making Cheeseburger Soup Recipe
- Use freshly shredded cheese – Pre-shredded cheese has additives that prevent smooth melting.
- Don’t skip the roux – It helps make the soup thick and creamy!
- Want extra flavor? Add a splash of pickle juice or a dollop of mustard for a true cheeseburger experience.
- Make it low-carb – Swap potatoes for cauliflower to lighten it up.
How to Serve Cheeseburger Soup Recipe
- With a crusty baguette or garlic bread for dipping.
- Topped with extra crispy bacon for an added crunch.
- A side of pickles to bring out that cheeseburger essence!
- Serve in a bread bowl for an indulgent treat.
Make Ahead and Storage
- Make ahead: Cook the soup and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. It reheats beautifully!
- Freeze it? Yes, but leave out the dairy until reheating for best texture.
- Reheat: Warm on the stove over low heat, stirring frequently, or microwave in short bursts.
FAQs Cheeseburger Soup Recipe
Cheeseburger soup is a rich and creamy soup made with ground beef, potatoes, onions, carrots, celery, cheddar cheese, and a creamy broth. It’s like a warm, cozy bowl of your favorite cheeseburger, minus the bun! Some variations include bacon, tomatoes, or even pickles for extra flavor.
Taste is subjective, but some of the most popular and beloved soups worldwide include French onion soup, ramen, pho, lobster bisque, and tom yum. Each culture has its own comforting and flavorful soups, and the “most delicious” one depends on your taste preference!
You can make several delicious soups using hamburger meat! Some popular options include:
Cheeseburger Soup – A creamy, cheesy soup with ground beef and potatoes.
Hamburger Soup – A hearty tomato-based soup with ground beef, vegetables, and pasta or potatoes.
Taco Soup – A spicy and flavorful soup with ground beef, beans, corn, and taco seasonings.
Cabbage Soup – A light, brothy soup with ground beef, cabbage, and tomatoes.
Cheeseburger soup pairs perfectly with crusty bread, garlic toast, or homemade biscuits for dipping. A fresh side salad, roasted veggies, or even crispy bacon-topped croutons add balance to the meal. If you want to go all-in on the burger theme, serve it with a side of pickles!
Hamburger soup typically includes ground beef, onions, carrots, celery, tomatoes, potatoes, or pasta in a savory broth. You can also add corn, green beans, kidney beans, or bell peppers for extra flavor. Season it with garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and Italian herbs for depth.
Cheeseburger soup will stay fresh in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days if stored in an airtight container. Make sure to reheat it thoroughly before serving. If it thickens too much, you can add a splash of broth or milk to loosen it up.
While frozen soup can last a long time, 2 years is pushing it. Most soups are best within 3-6 months for the best taste and texture. If it has been properly stored at 0°F (-18°C) and shows no signs of freezer burn or spoilage, it might still be safe but the quality may have deteriorated. Always smell and inspect before eating!
There are several ways to thicken soup, depending on the texture you want:
Flour or cornstarch slurry – Mix with water and stir in.
Mashed potatoes – Great for creamy soups.
Heavy cream or cheese – Adds richness and thickness.
Blended soup – Blend part of the soup for a naturally thick base.
Roux (butter + flour) – A classic thickener for creamy soups.
This Cheeseburger Soup is everything you love about a juicy burger but in a warm, creamy, and ridiculously comforting soup form. Perfect for cozy nights in, game days, or just because you deserve a bowl of something delicious. Enjoy!
