Ingredients for Savory Cheeseburger Soup Delight

The star of our soup is ground beef, which provides that rich, meaty base. Onion and garlic add depth and aroma, while celery and carrots contribute sweetness and texture. Our creamy base is brought together with chicken broth, heavy cream, and plenty of shredded cheddar cheese, creating a luscious consistency. The potatoes give the soup its body, making it satisfyingly filling. A touch of Worcestershire sauce and mustard powder enhances the burger-like flavor. Lastly, don't underestimate the power of chopped pickles and fresh chives as garnishes for a fresh and tangy finish.

Tips & Tricks

For a thicker consistency, mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot.
If you prefer a bit of spice, add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Use a good-quality cheddar for the best flavor; sharp cheddar works particularly well.

Serving Suggestions

This soup pairs wonderfully with a slice of crusty bread for dipping. For a full meal experience, serve alongside a fresh green salad or a simple coleslaw. A chilled glass of apple cider can complement the flavors beautifully.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of meat?: Absolutely! Ground turkey or chicken would also work well.
How do I store leftovers?: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove.

Savory Cheeseburger Soup Delight Recipe Walkthrough

Start by placing a large pot over medium heat and brown the ground beef until it's fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon as you go. Once the beef is nicely browned, add in the diced onion, minced garlic, chopped celery, and diced carrots. Let these vegetables cook down until they're tender and fragrant.

Next, stir in the flour and butter to create a roux, cooking until it's golden. This step is crucial as it will help thicken your soup. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps, and then add the cubed potatoes. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, which should take about 15 minutes.

Once the potatoes are soft, stir in the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard powder. Keep stirring until the cheese is fully melted and everything is well combined. Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped pickles and fresh chives for a burst of flavor.
