Cheeseburger Soup Recipe

Excellent! I made this for the Super bowl one time and my family loved it. I ended up leaving the salt and pepper out completely so everyone could add it to their taste and it still tasted amazing without it.

I doubled this recipe and it came out soupy so I added leftover mashed potatoes. I think if leftover mashed potatoes aren't on hand, I'd try potato flakes to thicken it up.

Made it just as written. To extend the leftovers, I "baked" two potatoes, unpeeled, in the microwave, chopped them and 1/2 green pepper, and added them. I topped it with a couple slices cooked bacon.

my husband loved this soup! he said it was a keeper for sure. I did use 2% velveeta instead of regular.

I added ketchup, mustard,and chopped up pickles and it rocked!!! I'd leave the potatoes out next time, or else chop then up really tiny.

I made this for a Church supper and everyone thought it was great. I used frozen hash brown potatoes. The rue I made in the microwave in a large bowl and added the milk to that and melted the cheese before adding it to the soup pot.

This was so delicious! Next time I make it I will double the recipe so that we have more leftovers. I made it in the early afternoon and left it warming on the stove. My boyfriend helped himself to a little bit all day so we only had 2 bowls leftover after dinner. Have already made this twice and will definitely make again. My boyfriend put some ketchup on his to make it taste more like a cheeseburger.

Th only thing I will change is the basil. I would cut the amount in half. I also will experiment and sub. oregano for the basil.

I made this as a vegetarian dish, with Yves meatless ground (which is better than the frozen kind, and usually around $3 for a package that equals 1 pound of ground beef.) Like others I also used cheddar in place of the velveeta, and since the meatless ground beef adds texture but not a lot of flavor I also added imitation bacon bits to add a little "meat" flavor. It came out delicious, with a wonderful texture. I will certainly be making this again!

My 9 year old daughter and I found this recipe while looking up what to make out of the ordinary with hamburger meat. She did most of it with me doing the cutting, and it was... Amazing! Probably the best soup I've ever made and we were both hesitant at first before we started cooking it. We browned the meat with a half can of diced green peppers for a mild kick, and used baby red potatoes and I cannot wait to have leftovers again tonight!! We also made some homemade bread and stuffed a slice in each bowl and oh man it was wonderful!!

This gave me a very good starting recipe to work with for Cheeseburger Soup. Because I am feeding 5 adults, I used a full pound of ground beef and 14 oz of velveeta and 5 pounds of potatoes. I am not a fan of the carrots and celery in this soup so I left them out and added garlic powder, a little cayenne powder. I also used 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of whole milk to have a little more richness in the soup.

I will make this soup many more times. Thank you so much for the recipe.

I've been making a variation of this for years. My husband loves it.

Tip: it's way easier to add the extra butter and then the flour to the celery and onion mixture than it is to make a separate roux. You have more control over how thick your soup will be and you don't have to mess up an extra pan. It's an extra step that's very unnecessary.

This is a great recipe! Filling enough for a full supper with maybe some homemade bread on the side too. You can use any leftover veggies you may want to add to this too!

This is one of my husband's and my favorites! It can be made in about an hour and tastes absolutely delicious! It is well worth the time to prepare.

Excellent! Easy to prepare, and tastes delicious. It's a great recipe for freezing--have some whenever you get the craving!

I second that! What a wonderful dreary day recipe! The basil adds a great - but not too unusual - flavor, and my whole family (picky toddler included) gobbles it up. We're lucky if we have leftover the next day.
