This is so good!!! I did 1 pound ground beef, didn't measure the veggies or seasonings (just did as much as I liked), added more seasonings, left out the salt, and I used process cheese slices-maybe use a little less cheese slices next time. And I didn't add the sour cream. So yummy!

I used 1 lb. of ground beef and American processed cheese slices instead and it worked out great since my family enjoys more beef in their soup. I have been making this recipe since it came out in the magazine many years ago! LOVE IT and share it with many people! It's always a favorite that is requested at our Lenten Dinners at Church each year.

I think I will use a reduced sodium Velveeta next time I make this soup. I have an older version of this recipe that does not include potatoes, parsley nor flour, but 2 cups of cooked rice instead. Even though the rice was ok, I will make this recipe again, but instead of the rice, I'll use the potatoes. I'm looking forward to posting about this version!

Two granddaughter were here for the week-end ages 13 and 16. We all loved it. 13 year old asked me to make it for her birthday and suddenly remembered her birthday is past this year, so she said I mean for Christmas. LOL I left out the mushrooms but the package of ground beef that I had thawed out was a little over 1 pound and it was wonderful. Thank you

Fantastic! I made the very same version of this soup, only without the sour cream before. I hadn't thought to add that in but it really made a wonderful difference in the taste! So glad i came across this recipe!

My husband is leery about "new recipes". I made the cheeseburger soup the other night and his words were "this is a keeper". He loved it. I used Italian seasoning and left out the celery (which we don't care for) and also the sour cream - the Velvetta gave it a wonderful texture and cheesy taste. It was so easy to make. Can't wait to share with my mother-in-law who is always having us try her "new recipes".

I was looking for more flavor in this soup since this recipe was given such high ratings. Our family rated it as good, but average in flavor, so I won't be making it again.

Reviewed on Mar. 07, 2011 by momof3eees

Good kid friendly recipe. I agree with the other poster, about leaving out the sour cream. It did give it a Stroganoff flavor. I didn't have parsley and basil so I used Italian seasoning instead and it turned out just fine.

Reviewed on Mar. 03, 2011 by kirstycone

This soup should be called potato -cheeseburger soup because there are SO many potatoes. They are very good though. It's true that kids LOVE this soup. Mine did and asked for it all week. Fortunately, I made a double batch. I think the Velveeta made it kid friendly. This recipe is a keeper in our house.

Reviewed on Mar. 01, 2011 by lemsley

I was so excited about this recipe but my husband and I felt there was something missing. We will try it again as a base but play around with the seasoning. We thought the sour cream made it seem like Stroganoff soup so we'll leave that out next time.

This recipe was pretty good. I used a pound of ground beef instead of a half pound, and I left my potatoes on too high of heat for too long (I got a phone call) so they went mushy and dissolved. Other than that it was really good, and I would recomend it to anyone who loves cheeseburgers and soup!

I have made this soup several times this winter. My family will empty the pot. It is so easy and simple to make. One thing that I did to save time was to use a 2 pound bag of hashbrowns instead of peeling and chopping the potatoes. I also cooked 6 or 8 strips of baccon, broke it apart and sprinkled the cooked bacon pieces as a garnish. It was a hit!!
