Description

A warm, creamy soup that captures the essence of a cheeseburger with tender potatoes, savory beef, and melted cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey
  • 1/2 cup onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup celery, diced
  • 1 can (16 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • 4 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 4 1/2 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 4 slices bacon
  • Shredded cheddar cheese for topping
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a saucepan. Drain and set aside.
  2. In the same saucepan, add 1 tablespoon of butter with the onion, diced celery, and parsley flakes. Sauté until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the broth, potatoes, diced tomatoes, and beef; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  4. Cook the bacon in a frying pan until crispy, then set aside.
  5. In the same pan, add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter and the flour. Cook and stir for 3-5 minutes until bubbly.
  6. Add this mixture to the soup and bring to a boil again. Cook and stir for 2 minutes, then reduce heat to low.
  7. Stir in the cheese and milk, cooking and stirring until cheese melts completely. Lastly, stir in the sour cream until blended.
  8. Garnish with crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese before serving.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium broth for better control over saltiness.
  • Choose your preferred meat for the soup.
  • For a thicker soup, add more flour.
