Creamy Cheeseburger Soup
A hearty, comforting soup made with ground beef, potatoes, vegetables, and creamy melted cheese for a rich satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground meat of choice
- 4 TBS Butter (divided into 1 TBS & 3 TBS)
- 1 Onion, diced
- 3/4 cup Carrots, thinly sliced or grated
- 3/4 cup Celery, diced
- 1 TBS Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp Oregano
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 3 Potatoes (about 3 cups) peeled and diced
- 4 cups Broth of choice
- 1/4 cup All purpose flour (I use gluten free)
- 4 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 1-1/2 cups Milk or half & half
- 1/4 cup Sour cream
Method
- In a large frying pan, thoroughly cook ground meat, drain grease and set aside.
- In a large 5 quart pot with 1 TBS of butter, over medium to high heat, sauté carrots, onion and celery with the Italian seasoning, Oregano and salt/pepper until the onions have softened. About 2-3 minutes.
- Add the beef, potatoes and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low & cover to simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
- In a separate small frying pan, melt the remaining 3 TBS of butter over medium to high heat and stir in the flour until it starts to bubble. Then add the mixture to the soup, stirring well to combine.
- Stir in the cheese until fully melted. Add the milk & bring the soup back to a simmer.
- Stir in sour cream until combined. Enjoy!
