A quick and easy homemade soup that captures the classic cheeseburger flavor in a creamy, comforting bowl, ready in about 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (85% lean recommended)
  • 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced small
  • 4 cups beef broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped green onions or crispy bacon bits

Instructions

  1. Heat a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Add butter to the pot with the beef, then add chopped onions and garlic. Cook until onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in diced potatoes and carrots, coating them in the butter and beef mixture. Cook for 2 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle flour evenly over the mixture and stir constantly for about 1 minute to make a roux.
  5. Slowly pour in beef broth and milk, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook about 5 minutes until soup thickens slightly.
  6. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
  7. Lower heat to medium-low and gradually add shredded cheddar cheese, stirring continuously until melted and creamy.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or Worcestershire sauce if desired. Add a splash more milk if soup is too thick.
  9. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions or crispy bacon bits if desired.

Notes

Drain excess beef fat to avoid greasy soup. Use freshly shredded cheese for smooth melting. Keep heat low when adding cheese to prevent clumping. Simmer gently to avoid watery soup. Adjust seasoning gradually. Roux must be cooked properly to avoid raw flour taste.
