Cozy up with a warm bowl of creamy, soul-satisfying Cheeseburger Soup! The family-friendly, easy dinner is perfect for a cool evening!

I love it when you guys provide me with inspiration in the kitchen! Whether you send me your favorite dinner recipes or just ask me for help at mealtime, it’s always such a joy to hear from my readers! This Cheeseburger Soup is actually a reader-request, and I’m so glad that I listened to the suggestion…

When Susie sent me a message on Facebook back in September looking for a homemade Cheeseburger Soup recipe, I went to work in the kitchen.

She had tasted a Cheeseburger Soup when she was visiting Amish country earlier in the summer, and she was hoping to recreate something similar at home.

I thought that Susie’s soup sounded delicious, but there wasn’t a recipe on my website to share with her. After a bit of experimenting, I’m happy to say that I’ve now fixed that problem!

This smooth, creamy, and totally cheesy soup was born — and it’s definitely a keeper!

What’s In Cheeseburger Soup?

• Ground beef
• Onion
• Celery
• Chicken broth
• Potatoes
• Millk
• Cheese
• Paprika

Add some crispy, crumbled bacon, crunchy croutons, and a bit of parsley or green onions for freshness and the Cheeseburger Soup is a satisfying meal in a bowl!

It’s absolutely the perfect easy dinner for chilly nights and I thank Susie for her inspiration!

Cook’s Tips

• I often cook the beef in advance and keep it in the refrigerator for a couple of days (or in the freezer for up to 3 months) until I’m ready to make the soup. It cuts out an extra step and makes the prep time even faster!
• When I only need a small amount of diced celery or onion, I like to buy it chopped from the salad bar at the grocery store. That way I only have to buy the small amount that I need and there’s no extra that goes to waste. Plus, in small quantities it’s still relatively inexpensive.
• I prefer the Velveeta in this recipe because it melts easily and has a smoother, creamier consistency in the soup but you could also use cheddar.

Ingredients

• 1 lb. lean ground beef browned in a skillet and drained*
• ½ cup chopped onion
• 1/3 cup chopped celery**
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 cups peeled diced potatoes (I used about 2 ½ medium russet potatoes)
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 8 ounces Velveeta cheese cubed (or 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese)***
• 2 cups milk I use 2%
• ¼ teaspoon pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon paprika
• Optional garnish: seasoned croutons; crispy cooked, crumbled bacon; parsley or sliced green onion

Instructions

1. In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, sauté onion and celery in butter until tender (about 3-5 minutes).
2. Add potatoes and broth. Bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
4. Carefully puree soup in a blender until smooth. Return pureed soup to the pot.
5. Stir in cooked ground beef, cheese, milk, pepper, and paprika. Cook and stir over low heat until the cheese is melted (do not boil), about 5 more minutes. Season with salt and additional pepper, to taste.
6. Divide among serving bowls and garnish with croutons, crumbled bacon, and parsley.
