I love the flavor of this soup! It's not a "pretty" soup, but what it lacks in beauty, it more than makes up for in flavor. I had this soup one day while travelling with friends. We stopped at a little Mom & Pop's cafe and this was the soup of the day. I loved it so much, I tried to recreate it at home. Hope you all like it! :)

How To Make cheeseburger soup

  • Step 1
    In a large pot, add 2 tbsp. butter, ground beef, onion, carrots, and celery over medium heat. Cook until beef is brown.
  • Step 2
    Stir in basil, parsley, broth, and potatoes. Bring to a boil, then simmer until potatoes are done, about 12 minutes.
  • Step 3
    In a small pan, melt 3 tbsp of butter over medium low heat. Stir in flour, then add half and half and stir until smooth.
  • Step 4
    Gradually add the milk mixture to the soup, stir constantly. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Add cheese gradually, (I add about a handful at a time, stirring after each addition), until cheese is melted. Add sour cream and heat through, but DO NOT BOIL. Enjoy! :)
