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

It's delicious, but as written this is more like a cheesy potato soup that happens to have a liiiiiittle bit of beef in it, too little for me to call it a cheeseburger soup. Next time I'll use a full pound of beef and maybe cut back on the potatoes some.
My daughter, who is a very picky eater, loves this soup! I’ve made it 3x the last 10 days. I use 1# of hamburger and 3 cups of Velveeta cheese. My husband likes this as well and commented that it tastes like soup from a good restaurant.
Very good! I'd seen the recipe many times, but always thought it sounded gross, judging by the name. After actually reading it I decided to give it a try. So glad I did. I added 32oz of chicken broth, we like our soup more brothy. I used 1lb of Velveeta, about 2 cups grated. It was plenty of cheese. I think more would have been too much. I also threw in a couple diced jalepenos. I'll add a couple more next time. My only complaint is the name of the recipe!
OUTSTANDING SOUP. REALLY GOOD! Made 2/3/21 with following modifications: Used combination of no sodium/low sodium chicken broth and 93% lean ground beef and extra sharp cheddar cheese. Also sauteed diced potatoes in separate pan before adding to soup. The consistency of this soup is perfect: somewhat thick and taste is superb. If you haven't tried it I highly recommend.
This is my family's all time favorite soup recipe and they request it multiple times each winter. I use leftover meatloaf to make it instead of ground beef.
I made half recipe for lunch today for 2 and all is gone. I forgot the sour cream and used fresh parsley and used the lesser amount of Velveeta. My non-soup loving husband liked this soup. I can see why it appeals to most people, but I like spicier soups. I also think the soup is thick enough with the potatoes that the flour slurry is not needed. A sharp Cheddar in lieu of the Velveeta might be an improvement.
Just once I'd like to see one of these recipes serve fewer than an army. Maybe have one that serves two or three once and awhile.
Totally delicious!! This is our "go to" soup any time of year. I've shared this recipe with many family members. I do no change any of the ingredients. Obviously a family favorite!
Delicious and perfect for a cold winter afternoon! I heeded the comments...used 2x more beef, half as much potatoes, and shredded cheddar instead of Velveeta. Hubby bragged at work and I shared the recipe. Definitely making again!
