Finding a professional-quality meal at home is simple with this Easy Cheeseburger Soup recipe. This dish features savory ground beef, tender potatoes, and vibrant vegetables nestled in a rich, cheesy cream base that perfectly coats every spoonful.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 3 cups potatoes cubed
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 cup carrots shredded or diced
  • 3 cups beef or chicken broth
  • 1.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream or whole milk
  • ½ cup crispy bacon bits
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Brown: In a large Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat.
  • Sauté: Add onions and carrots to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  • Simmer: Stir in the potatoes and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes until potatoes are tender.

  • Serve: Season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley and crispy bacon bits.
