Cheeseburger Paradise Soup Recipe

Reviewed on May. 02, 2013 by SPRING LYNN

I made this soup once--more than a year ago. It was a huge hit with everyone. I'd very much like to convert it to a RIVAL crock pot recipe as I had a bit of a sticking problem after adding VELVEETA. I'd like to try it in the crock, bit I don't want to ruin it. Liked review replacing peppers with hot sauce since I don't like chopping the jalapenos, Any suggestions/thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!!!

This is absolutely a FAVORITE in my house. Something guest request... I don't do the mushrooms- cause of family preference- Trust me it's just the BEST.

I made this soup and my husband loved it. I gave my best friend a bowl to try and when her husband tasted it, he made her make a pot of it the next day. This is very yummy and very filling.

My whole family was very disappointed with this soup. We were expecting something amazing and it was just mediocre to us.

I made this soup today. I chaged it a bit. Had leftover porkroast and gravy,so used it instead of hamburger and boullion. Used hashbrown potatoes, put half in at beginning and saved rest t heat thru at end so they held their shape, the early ones helped thicken the soup, added some frozen corn and made it like chowder, which my hubby loves. Use 1% milk. 2% mex. blend cheese. required no flour. i used no velveeta. It's bad for u, did use a bit of Hormel real bacon bits on top. It s so good. Oh and I halfed the recipe, just two of us. still enuf for two meals.

This receipe is bullet proof because I really messed it up. I used ground turkey and chicken bullion but it wasn't that. here is what I did: browned the turkey and onions, threw in the potatoes and carrots with the water and buillion and simmer about 15 minutes. While that was nhappening I made a roux out of butter (I used 4 T instead of the 2) and flour, milk, melted in the cheese. By the time the vegs were soft the cheese mixture was ready and I just threw it in the pot. Soup done. Tasted great and no worry with lumps. Really good with ground turkey by the way.

I think this soup would be good make with chicken or even sausage. I love the thickness of it. It is so creamy and rich with flavor

I just finished making this soup and I believe it has potential. I did follow the recipe, however for my personal preference this soup needs more flavor. The beef flavor, and Velveeta are not enough to increase the saltiness Perhaps just simply seasoning the ground beef while cooking will be enough. I am going to make this again and experiment.

Family really enjoyed this! Substituted a 32 oz. bag of hashbrowns for potatoes and sauteed onions, green pepper, and carrots with the meat. Left out the mushrooms since I forgot to buy them. Also substituted a small can of chopped green chilies for the jalapeño. We will make again.

Even better than I expected. Not heavy. I made it exactly as written with the exception of mushrooms (don't like 'em). I'm glad I made the whole recipe so we will get several meals throughout the fall. Thanks, Taste of Home. I don't give many recipes 5 stars.

Everyone loves this soup and it has so many good things in it. I did change it up and used Velveeta Mexican instead of the regular Velveeta for tonight so we'll how it goes over. I agree - a totally hearty meal great for a fall or winter night! I make it every fall/winter around here and it makes enough for a two meals for my family of 5.

Absolutely yummy! Made it twice over the weekend. I omitted the carrots, mushrooms, & crumbled bacon to suit my husband's taste and just used shredded cheddar cheese instead of process cheese and it was excellent. I also used cornstarch instead of flour to thicken it up to save on some carbs. Super quick and easy as well. My husband absolutely loved it as did my son. Definitely is going into the "keeper" file.

If replacing flour with cornstarch, it only takes 1/2 the amount for cornstarch. This recipe calls for 2T. of flour so use 1 T. of cornstarch.

Re Cheeseburger Paradise Soup

Whenever I make a creamed soup I thicken it with instant mashed potatoes instead of flour. Works great!

My husband & eldest son are gluten intolerant as well so I'm always improvising on recipes to make them acceptable for their dietary needs.

Yes, you can use cornstarch instead of the flour.  The consistency will be a tad different but it will taste just as good!

One of my favorite gluten free substitutes for wheat flour in recipes is Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Flour.  It contains a blend of five different gluten free flours that makes an EXCELLENT substitute in all your recipes. 

*Note:  you would use the cornstarch or the GF AP Flour in equal measures to replace the wheat flour.
