This is our favorite cheeseburger soup recipe! Ground beef, carrots, celery, potatoes and more, plus cheddar and herbs – oh my. It’s cozy, comforting and the perfect chilly night dinner!
Want to make the best soup this weekend?!
This cheeseburger soup is loaded with carrots, potatoes and ground beef, lots of melty cheese and tastes just like the name suggests – a delish burger!
We make this dish constantly and everyone goes wild. It’s a surprising favorite in our house.
No one is more surprised than me!
This is one of those recipes that I heard about for years and it never sounded appealing to me. And then, one day, it did.
This sort of thing happens to me ALL THE TIME, which is why I like to keep all my (pen and paper) recipe lists and logs going back 15 years. Something that didn’t sound so great seven years ago? I now love.
And so on.
Anyway! I started making it a few years ago. Here’s the thing: I have tried to photograph this for you for YEARS so I could share my version of the recipe. And every time, I dislike the photos so much.
This is not an attractive recipe. It never looks super delicious.
In fact, I don’t even LOVE these photos. But this is as good as its going to get, because we make this all the time.
In the cooler months, I often make this every other week. We all ADORE it. It has a little something for everyone and it is such a cozy dish.
If you enjoy potato soup, you’ll probably love this. If you like chili or taco soups, you’ll also probably love this! It is chock-full of so many of my kids favorite things. They especially love carrots, so I double up on those in this soup. They even love celery!
One reason I hesitated with this soup? THE DISHES.
There are a good amount of dishes and cutting boards with this recipe. I manage to keep it in two pots – one soup pot and a skillet. But it also takes a lot of dicing, chopping and mixing.
Once you’ve made it a few times, it barely matters. It’s made with easy ingredients – familiar ones, in fact. I highly suggest chopping everything and measuring everything out ahead of time. It will make the process so much smoother.
This is what goes into our soup!
Lean ground beef or turkey. I brown it first and then use the same pot for the soup, so the layers of flavor just keep building and building.
A mix of diced onions, celery and grated carrots. I love to use large carrots and grate them myself. The texture is so good once they cook in the soup.
Petite golden potatoes! I don’t even bother peeling them. I quarter them and toss them directly into the soup.
Chicken stock. Make it a good, rich, golden chicken stock. (more…)
