We saw a version of this on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, and thought we'd try our hand at our own version of what we'd seen.

How To Make cheeseburger & fries soup

  • Step 1
    Saute the onion in the butter.
  • Step 2
    When translucent, add the ground beef. Cook until completely browned.
  • Step 3
    Add the potato and heat through.
  • Step 4
    Deglaze the pan with the bottle of beer, and then simmer the meat mixture for about 5 mins.
  • Step 5
    Add the milk until bubbly, then add the Cheese Wiz, and melt it in.
  • Step 6
    Thicken as needed with the flour/water slurry and season as desired.
  • Step 7
    On the show, they added cut up lettuce and tomato, but my family liked it better without those items. The tomato was fine, but the lettuce can make it bitter.
  • Step 8
    Serve with ketchup swirled on top of the soup.
