Description
As a busy mom, I know how challenging it can be to whip up a meal that pleases everyone. That’s where my beloved cheeseburger soup comes in! This creamy delight combines all the flavors of a classic cheeseburger into a comforting bowl.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: additional shredded cheese, diced pickles, chives
Instructions
- In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.
- In the same pot, sauté the diced onion in a little bit of oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring to coat them evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Gradually add the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot, cover, and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, stir in the milk, shredded cheddar cheese, and sour cream. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is creamy.
- Add the cooked ground beef back into the pot and stir to combine. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with crumbled bacon and additional shredded cheese if desired.
Notes
- For a thicker soup, you can add more flour or reduce the amount of broth.
- This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stove, adding a little extra milk if needed to thin it out.
