Ingredients Needed
Uncooked Bacon: Chop it into small pieces and cook the bacon in the pot first! This starts the flavor-building process off strong. Veggies: Onion, carrots, celery and garlic are added for loads of flavor! Ground Beef: This is what makes it cheeseburger soup! You can substitute the ground beef for ground chicken or turkey, but keep in mind it will have a lighter flavor. Chicken & Beef Broth: I like to use a combo of chicken and beef broth. I find the combination of the two adds the best flavor however feel free to add just one if that’s what you have on hand. Spices: Dried dill and Italian seasoning is added to season things up to perfection! Feel free to use fresh herbs if you have them! Worcestershire Sauce: To add some extra umami flavor! Ketchup & Yellow Mustard: Hear me out. A little bit of ketchup and mustard adds a tangy flavor that balances all of the richness in this soup! Potatoes: Use yukon gold or russet potatoes, and try to cut them into evenly sized pieces so they are all tender around the same time. Whole Milk: To make the broth creamy! Sour Cream: Sour cream adds extra creaminess, tanginess, and helps to thicken up the soup. Shredded Cheddar Cheese: Freshly shredded cheddar cheese works best so that is melts easily! Cornstarch & Water: A bit of cornstarch whisked with a little water creates a cornstarch slurry that will also thicken the soup. Don’t add the cornstarch directly to the soup without first whisking it with a little water, because you will end up with chunks of cornstarch in the soup! Salt & Pepper: To taste! Green Onions or Fresh Parsley: For garnish!
How to Make cheeseburger soup
Tips for Success
For a lighter version, use ground chicken or ground turkey instead of ground beef! Don’t use pre-shredded cheddar cheese! Already shredded cheese in the bag is coated in an anti-coagulant to ensure that the cheese doesn’t melt together. That means that pre-shredded cheese isn’t great for soups or sauces. Use a block and grate it yourself for seamlessly melty cheese! Serve with a dollop of sour cream, more crispy bacon bits, and throw in some oyster crackers or croutons for a bit of crunch!
