    This Cheeseburger Soup is all the flavors of a cheeseburger in a big bowl of comfort food. A creamy cheese based broth filled with ground beef and potatoes is topped off with crispy bacon pieces for the ultimate in soup recipes.

    We love to enjoy a bowl of this soup for dinner, or go small with a cup and enjoy it for lunch with a side salad to compliment. And, it is great for packing in a thermos for those who work outside in the cold.

    Comforting Soup Recipes for Chilly Weather

    As soon as fall hits and the temperature drops, we are looking for soups to satisfy our hunger and to warm our bodies! The end of summer's green bean harvest is one part of one of of the first soup recipes I make every year. Green Bean Soup is similar to a chowder with potatoes in a milk based broth.

    As the temps continue to drop, we like to enjoy a little bit more comforting and hearty soups, like this cheeseburger soup recipe! Another one of our favorites is French Onion Soup. The cheesy topping with rich onion broth is just so satisfying!

    What You Need To Make Cheeseburger Soup

    A good quality ground beef that is lower in fat if possible. This eliminates the need to drain a lot of fat from the pot. However, a regular 80/20 blend will work, just remember to drain.

    American Process Cheese. I don't use those words too often, but, for this recipe, I do use it. This cheese makes for a creamy and smooth soup.

    Good quality bacon! I love this brand of bacon!

    Dutch Oven or Stock pot - I like to use a non-stick dutch oven.

    Tips and Substitutions

    • Use leftover potatoes or cook the potatoes ahead of time and cool them down to dice
    • If there is a lot of fat in the pot, be sure to drain before adding the liquids
    • If you want a thinner soup, reduce the flour to 2 tablespoons
    • Add a can of drained diced tomatoes
    • Stir some cooked bacon into the soup for a bacon cheeseburger soup
    • For a creamier soup, stir in ¼ cup of sour cream at the end
    • Top with shredded cheese and croutons in place of the bacon (or with the bacon!)
