The cold days are here, and one of my favorite ways to combat the chill, is with a warm and comforting bowl of the Best Cheeseburger Soup!
This Cheeseburger Soup is like transforming your favorite burger into a steaming, creamy bowl of comfort food. ❤️

(Don’t forget to check out all my recipes HERE , and also by scrolling all the way to the bottom of this post for some of my favorite comfort foods. Bonus: I’ve also linked up my favorite desserts, and appetizer recipes at the bottom, too!)
Let’s Make Some Soup!
Begin by browning and crumbling the ground beef. Drain the excess grease and set aside.
Dice your potatoes (kind of like the french fry part of your cheeseburger meal, right?), the onion, and the carrots.
I know what you’re thinking….”Carrots in a cheeseburger?” The carrots are optional, but it’s a good way to add a little extra flavor and sneak in some veggies. I diced them small, but you could also finely grate them, and then they’d just “disappear” into the soup. Your call.
Melt butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic, onion, carrots and Worcestershire. Sauté, stirring frequently, until onions soften up, about 2 or 3 minutes.
Pour in the broth, and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 12-15 minutes.

When the potatoes are tender, stir in the milk, the cooked ground beef, the cheese, and salt and pepper. Keep on stirrin’ until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy and bubbling. Oh, yeah.
Don’t forget about the toppings…
Now, this is where it gets all cheeseburger-y. This soup is all about the toppings, friends! You definitely do not want to skip these, or you’ll just have a cheesy ground beef soup. I mean, it will still be good, but it won’t be extra good. Just sayin’.
The tomatoes, bacon, extra cheese, green onions…. and pickles. Pleeeeaase don’t skip the pickles! Yeah, yeah, it sounds weird, I get it. But the zesty dill from the pickles is what really sends this over the top and makes it reminiscent of an actual cheeseburger. You gotta trust me on this one, guys.

Instructions
- Brown and crumble ground beef. Drain excess grease and set aside.
- Melt butter in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic, onion, carrots and Worcestershire. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions have become translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually pour in beef broth, Add the potatoes. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 12-15 minutes. You can add a little water or more broth if needed to keep the potatoes covered in liquid while cooking.
- When the potatoes are tender, stir in the milk and bring soup back to a simmer. Then, add in the cooked ground beef, cheese, salt and pepper, to taste. Stir until cheese is melted and mixture is creamy and bubbling.
- If the soup is too thick, add more milk as needed until desired consistency is reached.
- Don't forget the toppings! They are what make this soup taste like a cheeseburger.

The cubed potatoes don’t appeal to me. Could I substitute them for frozen hash browns? I love the idea of adding dill pickles to the soup. Yummy addition!
Yes, that would work out just fine, Deb! And the dill pickles really make it special!

Do you include nutrition info on your recipes? I didn’t see anything about it, but point it out if I missed it.
Hi Chris,
I have actually just upgraded my recipe maker plug-in, so nutritional info will be appearing soon! Thanks for checking!
This sounds like something my family would love. It really does look and sound like the best comfort food. x
Omgosh!!! This is right up our alley. I’m totally making this for my family. We love soups and I have a feeling this will make it into our regular rotation. I hear you about the warm temps but I was going to make soup tonight although we’re in the 80s too. 🤷♀️. It’s that time of year. Thanks again for the recipe. 🍔
I hope your family loves it as much as we did! 😄
