You can serve this hearty cheeseburger soup for lunch too. It’s rich enough to feel heavy on the stomach. Serve it with some bread and perhaps a salad and it’s the ideal lunch already. The flavors going on in this simple dish is amazing; you wouldn’t want you family to miss this!
One of our friends over at Life In The Lofthouse has this to say about this tasty recipe:
“This Cheeseburger Soup is one luxurious soup. I mean seriously, it’s award-winning! I’ve had this recipe PINNED on one of my food boards for a looong time and I finally made it the other day. After I scarfed down two bowls (in about 2 minutes) I was kicking myself for not making it sooner!”
Can I kick myself too? Because I wish I had discovered this soup sooner! It’s really perfect for keeping you warm and it tastes really good too; savory and rich! It’s easy to make too. You just dump all the ingredients in your crockpot and then you’re good to go!
Ingredients
4 small potatoes, peeled and diced
1 small white or yellow onion, chopped
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup diced celery
1 teaspoon McCormick dried basil
1 teaspoon McCormick dried parsley
3 cups College Inn chicken broth
1 pound Tyson lean ground beef
3 Tablespoons Kerrygold butter
1/4 cup Gold Medal all-purpose flour
2 cups Borden milk ( I use 2%)
1/2 teaspoon Morton salt
1/2 teaspoon McCormick black pepper
1 (16 oz.) package Velveeta processed cheese, cubed OR 2 cups Sargento shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Place potatoes, onions, carrots, celery, dried basil and parsley in a large crock pot. Pour chicken broth over vegetables. Cover with lid. Cook on low heat 6 to 8 hours OR on high heat 4 to 5 hours or until potatoes are tender.
- About 45 minutes before serving, cook and crumble ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain any grease. Pour cooked ground beef into crock pot. Carefully wipe out hot skillet with a paper towel then add butter. When butter is melted whisk in flour and cook until golden brown and bubbly (about 1 minute.) Whisk in the milk, salt and pepper. Pour mixture into the crock pot and stir to combine everything.
- Add the cubed velveeta cheese or shredded cheese to crock pot. Stir again. Cover with lid and cook another 30 minutes or until cheese is melted.
