Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • Optional: 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • Optional: Shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, pickles for topping

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Drain off excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot with the beef. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Pour in the beef broth. Add the diced potatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and milk until smooth to create a slurry.
  5. Slowly whisk the milk slurry into the simmering soup. Continue stirring until the soup thickens slightly.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and cubed cream cheese. Stir constantly until both cheeses are completely melted and the soup is smooth and velvety. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cheese.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  8. Serve the hearty beef and cheese soup hot, topped with crumbled bacon, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, or pickles, just like a cheeseburger in a bowl.

Notes

  • For a slow cooker cheeseburger soup option, combine all ingredients except the flour/milk slurry and cheeses in the crockpot. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Whisk the slurry and stir it in during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Add cheeses once the cooking time is complete.
  • Use sharp cheddar for the best flavor in this cheddar beef soup.
  • This recipe works well as a low-carb option if you omit the potatoes.
