Yummy, cheesy, gooey, everyone-friendly, cheesy, burgery soup.  What’s not to love?

 To begin, I chop up one small onion,

about 3/4 cup of carrots,

3/4 c. of celery,

and 4 cups of potatoes diced quite small and set them all aside.

Brown 3/4 lb. ground beef with the onion. You really can use anywhere from 1/2-1 lb.–whatever you have on hand.

Drain the grease and add in the carrots and celery and give it a stir.
Also add in 1 tsp. of Italian seasoning,
1 tsp. salt (I use kosher)
and 1/2 tsp. pepper.

Now, add in 6 c. of chicken or beef broth and the potatoes and let simmer for about 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

In a skillet, melt 4 T. butter and whisk in 1/2 c. flour. When combined, let the mixture cook for a minute or so.
Slowly whisk in 1 1/2 c. milk (I use whole milk–creamy goodness).
Whisk until smooth and thickened.
 Add 5 cups (okay, I may have added a bit more than that) of freshly shredded cheddar cheese.
Whisk the cheesy goodness mixture into the meat/veggie mixture until it’s all blended and beautiful.   And, voila!  Soup perfection!

Oh, and you could definitely add some bacon (I used it as a garnish) and have Bacon Cheeseburger Soup ’cause bacon makes almost everything better, doesn’t it?

Grocery List
  • 1 onion
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • ¾ c. carrots
  • ¾ c. celery*
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. pepper
  • 6 c. chicken broth
  • 4 c. potatoes
  • 4 T. butter
  • ½ c. flour
  • 1½ c. milk
  • 5 (-ish) c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Here's how...
  1. Chop the onion, carrots, celery and potatoes quite small and set them aside.
  2. Brown ground beef and onion. Drain the grease and add in the carrots and celery and stir.
  3. Add in the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
  4. Add in the chicken or beef broth and the potatoes and let it simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  5. In a skillet, melt the butter and whisk in the flour. When combined, let the mixture cook for 2-3 minutes to cook off the flour taste. Slowly whisk in the milk. Whisk until smooth and thickened. It will thicken when it is almost at a boil.
  6. Add the cheese. Whisk the cheese sauce into the meat/veggie mixture until its all blended and beautiful.
  7. Garnish with bacon and extra cheese if desired.

*Don’t you hate finding soggy, wilted celery when you need it for a recipe? What I do to keep good celery on hand to cook with–since I use it several times a week–is to freeze it. I chop the entire hunk o’ celery all at once and keep the bag in my freezer door to use at will. I do this with onions as well. Now you know.

  1. So, just “nourished” some great teachers at school with this awesome soup. Twice a year, during Parent/Teacher conference time, a bunch of parents bring in homemade meals for the teachers to enjoy for lunch and dinner since they usually don’t leave until 9pm on those days. I brought it in yesterday and was greated this morning, when I walked in, by everyone who had it and raved. I’m going to post the blog to our school site for them to find the recipe. Thanks again!

    I made this for our lunch today and it was delicious! As a short cut I bought a bag of frozen, western style hashbrowns (the diced potatoes, not shredded). The green and red peppers from the hashbrowns added a yummy flavor to the soup. My kids had two bowls each! Even the picky three year old. :)Nicole Soucie
