There is nothing quite like a big bowl of cheeseburger soup on a chilly evening. It is creamy, hearty, and packed with everything you love about a classic burger, from the savory ground beef to the tender potatoes.

My grandkids always ask for seconds when this is on the stove. If you want to make it extra special, top your bowl with some crispy bacon bits or a little extra shredded cheddar cheese right before you dig in.

🧺 Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 onion, diced
2 cups baby gold potatoes, diced
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all purpose flour
2 cups milk
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Brown the ground beef and diced onion in a large pot over medium heat until the beef is fully cooked.
2
Drain the excess fat from the pot.
3
Add the diced potatoes, shredded carrots, and chicken broth to the beef mixture.
4
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
5
In a separate small pan, melt the butter and whisk in the flour to create a paste.
6
Slowly stir the milk into the flour mixture until smooth, then add this to your main soup pot.
7
Stir the soup constantly over low heat until it thickens.
8
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it is melted and creamy.
9
Season with salt and pepper to your liking before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can reheat it on the stove over low heat, just add a splash of milk if it gets too thick. This soup freezes well too, but it is best to add the cheese after you reheat it.
