A local restaurant serves a similar soup but wouldn't share their recipe with me. So I developed my own, modifying a recipe for potato soup. I was really pleased at how good this "all-American" soup turned out. —Joanie Shawhan, Madison, Wisconsin

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

I have never written a review before - so that goes to show you what a BIG HIT this soup is in my home. My young boys love it, and it's one I make for guests as well. Thanks for the great recipe!

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 have made this over and over now. It's one of my family's favorites! My daughter now keeps the beginnings of it in her freezer so she can throw it together quickly when she gets home from work.

I have made this recipe many times since it first appeared in Taste of Home. Everyone absolutely loves it. Even a very picky eater loved it. Definitely a keeper.

I will definitely make this soup again. Very tasty and filling. I used Mexican blend cheese instead of Velveeta. Made a big pot on a cold day and gave some to my neighbors. We all loved it. Definitely a keeper!

I am not a soup person, however someone brought cheeseburger soup to a potluck at work. Since then I have made it at least once a month! I added tortellini to it also and it was great.
