Cheeseburger Soup
A local restaurant serves a similar cheeseburger soup but wouldn't share its recipe with me. So I developed my own, modifying a recipe for potato soup. I was really pleased with the way this all-American treat turned out. —Joanie Shawhan, Madison, Wisconsin

Amer, maybe a more polite approach would have been better to let other's know you didn't care for this soup. Joanie, thank you for sharing your recipe. I wanted something quick, easy, a soup, and something that would use the 1lb of ground beef I had thawing in the refrigerator for dinner. My husband is on a low FODMAP diet per his GI Dr. So I omitted the onion as that's high in FODMAPs and I added half the Velvetta cheese and substituted the rest with Cheddar Cheese. I also used beef stock vs chicken stock to amp up the beefiness. My husband loved it
My family absolutely loves this recipe!
Incredible soup! I cannot believe how good this is. I used leftover taco meat and something about those taco spices in the soup put this over the top!!!!!!
We love it, Thank you! I did make some adjustments... I only had shredded Mexican cheese on hand and beef broth so I used those instead of chicken broth and Velveeta. I also didn't add sour cream. My 4 kids from 13yrs-4yrs all loved it . We will make it again! Thank you!
family favorite!!! i use a whole pound of ground beef.
The best soup ever!
Love! Made a version for a soup contest and got 2nd. I would recommend sticking with the lower amount of Valveeta, adding a cup of pepper jack cheese, and adding nearly a cup of chicken broth.
I was really excited to make this soup after reading all the great reviews. I have to agree with the one review I read that said it was basically Hamburger Helper without noodles. Actually, I think Hamburger Helper tastes better then this. The only change I made was to add a some bacon at the end. My husband and I did not care for this at all.
This soup is awesome. I made a few changes because my husband likes a heartier soup. I doubled the burger, added bacon and used beef broth instead of chicken broth. It came out amazing! This is a keeper!!!
Made this recipe pretty much as written (except for no sour cream because I forgot to pick some up) even though I am not usually a fan of Velveeta. It was hearty and had a good, rich flavor that both my husband and I enjoyed. Definitely a keeper!!
