Cheeseburger Soup

Oct 24, 2008

A couple of friends of mine were recently talking about a cheeseburger soup they had tasted. It reminded me of one I had made several years ago. We had really liked it but I had forgotten about the recipe. I was glad to be reminded of the this soup. I found the recipe and gave it a try again.

The original recipe came from Taste of Home. It had carrots and celery in it. Although carrots and celery are good, I do not think they belong in cheeseburgers. So, I leave them out. The original recipe also calls for Velveeta. I really do not like Velveeta. However , it will give this soup a very creamy texture. American style cheese would also work in this recipe. I prefer to use regular cheddar cheese.

My kids love this recipe. It is a quick and easy and a great fall and winter soup to make.

Cheeseburger Soup

  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • 4 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 4 cups diced peeled potatoes (1-3/4 pounds)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese (see note above)
  • 1-1/2 cups milk
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

In a 3-qt. saucepan, brown beef; drain and set aside. In the same saucepan, saute onion, basil and parsley in 1 tablespoon butter until onion is tender, about 10 minutes. Add broth, potatoes and ground beef,  bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, melt remaining butter. Add flour and cook, stirring for 3-5 minutes or until bubbly. Add to soup and bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Add cheese, milk, salt and pepper; cook and stir until cheese melts. Remove from the heat; blend in sour cream.

    Hi Lynn,
    This looks really yummy! I have a feature on my blog called “Souper Saturday” where I share a soup recipe each Saturday. Would you be willing to allow me to link back to this recipe for my feature tomorrow?

    Thanks,

    You are right – the soups are very similar. I also do not like to use Velveeta processed cheese so I use regular cheddar cheese as well. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful recipes.

    I just saw this. That day that I was going on and on about your 40 minute rolls? This was the soup I was making! Well, a variation of it from allrecipes.com (I think it was that person’s variation of the Taste of Home one, though, because they didn’t call for Velveeta). I also left out the celery, but I kept the carrots. The recipe I read had you just adding the flour and butter to the soup, but like you, I cooked it first. So, basically, I made it according to your directions. Hehe. It was delicious!!! And it was awesome with your 40 minute rolls!

    My husband saw this recipe on your blog a few weeks ago and asked me to make it. I did, and we loved it! I’ve linked your recipe on my blog because we liked it so much! I’m looking forward to trying some of your other recipes.

      @Emily, This makes enough for my family, which is 2 adults and 3 kids. And usually there is enough for my husbands lunch the next day. I hope that helps.

    I made this last night – my youngest doesn’t eat potatoes, but I told him it was cheeseburger and french fry soup 🙂 He ate a small bowl which is a MAJOR accomplishment!! I did use my handheld mixer to blend the potatoes so there wasn’t anything that he could pick out. DS7 ate 4 bowls!!

    I served a few potato chips on the side – the kids loved it. DH ate 2 bowls even though he was sceptical when I told him what I was making for dinner.

    KEEPER!! 🙂
    Thanks!

      @joyce, Yes you can just click on the printer icon at the bottom of the post. It is in the row of other icons. I hope you enjoy the soup.

    Thank you so much for your recipe! I found you through moneysaving mom.com. The kids gobbled it up! I served it with homemade dinner rolls and a salad. We also love your peanut butter granola recipe.

      I think you could try this in a crockpot because the ground beef is already cooked and drained. Your just basically melting the cheese in there and warming the soup up. I think that’s a great idea!

      I have never made it in the crock pot, but I think it would work fine.

    I’ve made this soup recipe many times and LOVE it. My whole family does. it’s especially good with some sort of biscuits or Italian bread to dip into it. I also thought it was strange to have celery and carrots in it but you know what? It works! And gets some veggies into my kids!

    Have you ever tried using the frozen peeled/diced potatoes? (Like the ones that are over with the fries, tots and shredded hash-browns?)

      No, but I think they would probably work fine.

    I’ve made this soup using a couple of different recipes….my favorite way to do it is use frozen shredded hash browns instead of cutting up potatoes and adding cream cheese as well……I think this is one of those recipes you can’t mess up because you can add or take out a couple of things if you like….either way….its always delicious!
