Make this creamy, cheesy Cheeseburger Soup on the stovetop for a quick weeknight dinner. It tastes like your favorite burger in a bowl, packed with ground beef, potatoes, and cheddar cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 8 ounces Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Optional toppings: Bacon bits, chopped pickles, diced tomatoes, extra shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot with the beef. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Pour in the beef broth. Add the diced potatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk the flour into the milk until smooth. Pour this mixture into the simmering soup, stirring constantly until the soup begins to thicken.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the cubed Velveeta and shredded cheddar cheese until both cheeses are completely melted and the soup is smooth and creamy. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cheese.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with your preferred burger toppings.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, cook 4 slices of bacon until crisp, crumble, and add the bacon bits to the soup or use as a topping.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, increase the amount of flour slightly or let it simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes after adding the milk mixture.
  • This recipe is a great candidate for a slow cooker; cook on low for 6-8 hours after browning the beef and sautéing the vegetables separately.
