I use sharp cheddar cheese because I like the taste but any cheddar is good.

Cheeseburger Soup I

beef

onion

carrots

celery

basil

parsley

butter

chicken broth

potatoes

all-purpose flour

Cheddar cheese

milk

sour cream

In a large pot, melt 1 tablespoon butter or margarine over medium heat: cook and stir vegetables and beef , until beef is brown.


Stir in basil and parsley. Add broth and potatoes. Bring to a boil, then simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes.


Melt the remainder of butter and stir in flour. Add the milk, stirring until smooth.


Gradually add milk mixture to the soup, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer. Stir in cheese. When cheese is melted, add sour cream and heat through. Do not boil.


Because I commute 1 hour each way to work, I simplify this recipe. I also use more ground beef, 1#, I buy the cubed hash browned potatoes in the freezer section, along with the frozen diced onions. I use whole milk, and make this recipe as stated. I shave lots of time from assemblage with the 'easy' ingredients. Very hearty, creamy, filling on a cold winter's night. My family loves this, we have been making it for about 5 years now, I was surprised to find it on this site. To thicken this use potato flakes, it works great! The potato flakes make it a richer, thicker soup with substance. 

This recipe was okay (as it was written)...I am only giving it 3 stars because as it is written, I do not love it.  But after changes were made it was a pretty good cold day soup.  I did not use the celery or carrots, that is not on a cheeseburger.  I used beef broth instead of chicken broth and the second time I made it I used velvetta instead of cheddar.  Cheddar does not get that creamy when melted.  I am going to try a pasta in it next time instead of the potatoes.  All in all, good basis for a very filling soup.

I was frantically searching for a similar recipe featured in one of the first editions of Taste of Home. It's my husband's favorite, and I lost the recipe! I couldn't get it quite right until this one! I also add one seeded, minced jalapeno, crumbled bacon, and some cayanne to the adult's portions. He thinks I found the original recipe, but this one's even better!!

I really liked this soup.  The only thing I changed was adding two cloves of chopped garlic, some fried bacon and Valvetta vs cheddar.  I also used frozen cubed hashbrown potatos only because thats what I had.  To the person who said they didn't add the celery & carrots because thats not in a cheeseburger, no wonder you gave it only 3 stars.  This is soup, not a cheeseburger and virtually every good soup starts with onions, celery & carrots (and garlic in my opinion).  I served this to a group of 6 guys during a fishing trip and it got 12 enthusiastic thumbs up.

I'VE MADE THIS SAME SOUP FOR YEARS. THE KEY TO MAKING THIS IS TO ADD THE FLOUR/BUTTER MIXTURE TO THE VEGGIES AND COOKING ON MED. HIGH FOR TWO MINUTES BEFORE ADDING THE MILK. THE KIDS LOVE IT.

This soup is so velvetey smooth and delicious. I did do it alittle different though. I made mine in a crock pot so what I did was: cook the hamburger in a skillet and when that was done I quickly put all the vegetables (onions, carrots, celery and potatoes) in the skillet with the flour, butter and some of the chicken stock to deglaze. After a few minutes I put the hamburger, vegetables and chicken stock in the crock and let cook all day. Then about 1/2 hour before we ate I put the cheese, milk and sour cream in the crockpot and let melt/cook. Wonderful!

We absolutely LOVE this recipe.  I have made this for my husband and I several times. I make it just as the recipe states and it turns out perfect every time.  I use my food processor to chop the veggies and it makes the soup a perfect consistency.  You may like to experiment with different chesses and you might want to add alittle more hamburger to it... but I don't think it's that necessary.  I always double the batch and freeze half for a later date.  It reheats very well.

I would give it a 6 if i could--- Everyone loves this soup. I use shredded cheese instead but I've made it more than once and it is perfect! It makes more than enough for our 3 person family. And it warms up nicely.

Good and filling!  Cut the recipe in half (just the husband and I) and it made enough for two very large meals.  Here are the things I did differently: 1. Used 1/2 lb 90/10 hamburger, browned and set aside. In the same pan melt 3 tbsp salted butter, add 3/4 c each DICED (unpeeled) carrots, onions, and celery.  Add 2-3 cloves of garlic  2. Cook until soft and add 1/8 c flour.  3. Cook for a minute or so and slowly add 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk.  Then add 1 can (14.5 oz) reduced sodium beef broth.  4. Add 2 teaspoons dried basil, 1 tsp dried parsley, salt and pepper to taste.  5. Used 2 cups frozen Potatoes O'Brien from OreIdea.  6. Grated a 8 oz block of sharp cheddar cheese - the pre-shredded stuff won't melt as well!! and used 1/8 c light sour cream.  7.  Topped with chopped fresh basil, a dollop of sour cream, chopped bacon, AND CHOPPED DILL PICKLES!!!  The dill pickles 100% made the soup for me.  I would never make the soup without them again.  8. Added Tabasco CHIPOTLE Pepper Sauce to taste - FANTASTIC flavor added.

This hearty soup is bursting with delicious, comforting flavors.
