Cheeseburger Soup

olive oil

yellow onion, (diced)

carrot,

green bell pepper, (diced)

celery sticks, (sliced)

garlic, (minced)

beef

basil

sweet red paprika

oregano

½ teaspoon salt, (to taste)

½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper, (to taste)

tomato paste

(8-ounces) cream cheese,

cheddar cheese

milk

cheddar cheese, (for garnish, optional)

Chopped fresh parsley, (for garnish)

Heat olive oil in a dutch oven or stock pot over medium-high heat.

Add onions, carrots, green pepper, celery sticks, and garlic; cook for 3 minutes, occasionally stirring.

Add beef; season with basil, paprika, oregano, salt, and fresh ground pepper.

Continue to cook for 5 minutes, or until browned. Don’t break up the ground meat too much; the chunkier texture of the ground beef in the soup will add more to that taste and texture of a cheeseburger.

Stir in tomato paste.

Add cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese; stir until cheese is completely melted.

Stir in the broth and milk; bring mixture to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer for 5 more minutes.

Remove from heat. Taste for seasonings and adjust accordingly.

Sprinkle with freshly shredded cheese.

Garnish with parsley and serve.

This soup gives you all the flavors of a classic cheeseburger in cozy, creamy, soup formation. With the addition of potatoes, because most soups are just better with potatoes, this soup will stick to your ribs and warm your bones.

unsalted butter

yellow onion (about 1-2 medium or large yellow onions)

celery (sliced)

carrot

Tablespoons all-purpose flour

beef broth

potatoes

Velveeta cheese (cubed, *see notes below)

Tablespoon parsley (finely minced)

salt and pepper (to taste)

bacon (cooked and crumbled. Optional as garnish

cheddar cheese (for garnish)

In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, saute the beef until browned. Drain and set aside.

Melt the butter in the stockpot. Add onion, celery, and carrots and saute until softened.

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and saute 1-2 minutes longer until the flour is browning. Stir in the beef broth, adding a little at a time and stirring to make a smooth broth.

Add the potatoes to the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes are soft and can easily be pierced with a fork.

Add the milk, Velveeta, parsley, and cooked ground beef to the soup and stir, heating until the cheese is melted and the soup is smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Serve with freshly grated cheddar and crumbled bacon.

This easy Cheeseburger Soup starts with frozen ground beef and pre-chopped potatoes and is finished with plenty of melty cheese for a family favorite dinner that cooksk up quick in your Instant Pot.
