Make this creamy, hearty cheeseburger soup in one pot for a quick and comforting weeknight meal featuring ground beef, potatoes, and sharp cheddar cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced (about 1/2 inch cubes)
  • 1 teaspoon dried mustard powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Optional: 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled, for topping
  • Optional: Chopped pickles for topping

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the beef broth, diced potatoes, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk the flour into the milk until smooth. Slowly pour the milk mixture into the simmering soup, stirring constantly. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the soup thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Do not let it boil rapidly once the milk is added.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Remove the pot from the heat. Gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it is completely melted and smooth.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Serve hot, topped with crumbled bacon or chopped pickles if desired.

Notes

  • For a lower-carb version, substitute the potatoes with cauliflower florets.
  • Shred your own cheese; pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that prevent smooth melting.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, let it simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes before adding the cheese.
