Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is nicely browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat to prevent greasiness in the soup.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onions, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes until the onions become translucent and the vegetables soften, building rich flavor and slight sweetness.
  3. Add Potatoes and Broth: Add the peeled and diced potatoes along with the beef broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  4. Make It Creamy: Lower the heat and stir in the milk and heavy cream carefully. Avoid boiling after adding dairy to prevent curdling. This step creates the rich, velvety texture of the soup.
  5. Stir in Cheese and Seasonings: Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese while stirring constantly until fully melted and smooth. Season with Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to enhance the cheeseburger flavors.
  6. Final Simmer and Serve: Let the soup simmer gently for a few more minutes to meld all the flavors. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, then ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use sharp cheddar cheese for a more flavorful soup.
  • Don’t rush sautéing the vegetables to deepen the overall taste.
  • Add cheese gradually to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth texture.
  • Adjust soup consistency by varying the amount of broth or milk.
  • Letting the soup rest can enhance the melding of flavors.
