Cheeseburger Soup is a warm, creamy dish that captures all the flavors of a classic cheeseburger in a comforting bowl.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (80/20 or 90/10)
  • 2 medium potatoes (Russets or Yukon Golds), diced
  • 4 cups beef broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (full-fat)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or medium)
  • 1 cup whole milk (or half-and-half/heavy cream)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Butter or olive oil (if needed for sautéing)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: Get a large Dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed pot hot over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef and break it up with a spoon. Cook until completely browned, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the beef to a plate lined with paper towels, reserving 1-2 tablespoons of the drippings in the pot.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: Reduce heat to medium. Add the diced onion, celery, and carrots to the reserved drippings in the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables soften and the onion becomes translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Build the Roux: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the sautéed vegetables. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to cook out any raw taste.
  4. Deglaze and Add Liquids: Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add Potatoes and Cook: Stir in the diced potatoes, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring back to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  6. Introduce Dairy and Cheese: Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the softened cream cheese until melted and smooth. Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until fully melted. Finally, stir in the whole milk until creamy and well combined.
  7. Adjust and Serve: Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper to your liking. If too thick, add more warm broth or milk to reach desired consistency. Ladle hot soup into bowls and serve immediately.
