Winter is almost coming to an end, but I still have soups I want to try! Oh well, there will still be a few cool spring nights, so I am going to keep going; hope you don’t mind 🙂 This week for #SundaySupper Angie from Big Bears Wife is hosting a “Cheese, Cake, or Cheesecake” event. So we have a very wide variety of recipes for you today!
Those of you who know me will be shocked that I picked the cheese part of this event. But I made this soup last weekend, and I just had to share. Last Sunday we were experiencing a rare blizzard in Colorado. We get snow, not a ton, but we do get snow. When we do get snow, it never blows around though. That is very strange coming from the midwest. Anyway, we woke up Sunday morning to blowing snow, and not able to see the houses behind us very well. I immediately determined it was a soup day. Unfortunately I need to go to the grocery store, so it was going to be a soup day with what I had in the house!
My 7 year old raved about this soup, and ate the leftovers like crazy. I actually served them in bread bowls, which at first he thought was really strange, but turned out to be one of his favorites. Cheeseburger soup is a quick soup to make, even on a weeknight. In about 30 minutes you can have this on the table. You can garnish it with whatever you would normally put on a cheeseburger. I put a little bit of crumbled bacon and more cheese. Crisp raw onion, or diced avocado would be a great option.
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 cup onion , finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic , minced
- 3 Tbls Worcestershire sauce
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 1 (14 oz) can tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 cups cheddar cheese , grated
- 1 Tbls mustard
- 3 Tbls ketchup
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- cheddar cheese
- crisp bacon
- diced onions
- diced avocado
- croutons
- In a large stock pot cook the ground beef over medium high heat, breaking apart. After it begins to brown add onions, and garlic. Cook until the meat is cooked through, and the onions are soft. Drain any fat from the pan.
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce and chicken stock. Simmer.
- In a liquid measuring cup whisk together milk and flour until smooth. Slowly stir into the simmering soup. Cook until the soup starts to thicken slightly.
- Add the cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup at time, stirring after each addition.
- Once the cheese is all added stir in the mustard, ketchup, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Serve with desired garnish.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Freezes well.

I have seen so many cheeseburger soup recipes, but never tried them. I guess I need to, but I think we might be experiencing our last cold front this weekend. Oh well will have to make on a hot day 🙂
Jen @JuanitasCocina says
I’m making this this week!

Oooh this soup looks and sounds so delicious with all the cheeseburger flavors going on and I’m not surprised your family loved it :)We would too 🙂
Erin @ Texanerin Baking says
I don’t like soup but this looks like something I’d try! I mean, it’s basically cheese and meat so it has to be good. 🙂
Tara says
I could go for a bowl of that on this very snowy cold day we are having. Looks delish!!
Paula @ Vintage Kitchen says
Perfect for a winter day, and kids of course! It´s like all the things you like in soup form! Great recipe Erin
Renee says
That’s a good hearty soup for winter. It’s one I’m sure my husband would love. I swear cheeseburgers are his favorite meal. Since he likes soup I know this would be one for him (and me too).
The Café Sucré Farine says
We seem to still be in the full force of winter here. What a fun soup, I think it would be universally appealing.
Susan says
I keep seeing cheeseburger soup everywhere and it looks so good and filling that I think it’s kismit that I try it soon!

This soup looks amazing! Sure to please everyone in the family! Great recipe!

Yummy! I haven’t made cheeseburger soup in forever. This looks creamy & filling 🙂
Heather @girlichef says
This sounds so darn good…and looks creamy and delicious! I love the cheeseburger flavor and think my kids would devour this, too.
Kristie says
Looks and sounds delish! Will have to try it.
Laura (Tutti Dolci) says
I always add Worcestershire to burgers… great to see it here in your soup!
Lyn @LovelyPantry says
This looks great! I wonder if I can get my kids to have it? Ok so thats just my excuse to try it for myself. lol!
Laura | Small Wallet, Big Appetite says
Oh your version looks fantastic as well. Seriously I think cheeseburger soup is my new favourite soup. Love it.
Sprigs of Rosemary says
Winter ending does put a crimp in our comfort eating style, doesn’t it! You’re right, there are so many good soups I’ve yet to try. Now, you’ve added another one to my list!
Elizabeth @Food Ramblings says
Bookmarking this to make later!
Sarah Reid, RHNC (@jo_jo_ba) says
On the surface its so odd, but dang if it doesn’t sound delicious!
Jennie @themessybakerblog says
Look at all of that glorious cheese and hearty meat. This is a winner! Pinned.
Emily @ Life on Food says
Soup is one of those things I will eat year round regardless of how hot it gets outside. My husband isn’t too fond of it though however I think if I used the word cheeseburger he might suddenly become more interested.
Jean says
I add Worcestershire to burgers, too. This soup sounds sooo good!
Lora @cakeduchess says
Fun to see Worcestershire in this comforting soup. I like your #SS theme this week. I would be leaning towards cheese as well. I know, I have so many soups I wanted to make and wish it would stay cooler here a bit longer;)
Cindys Recipes and Writings says
Cheeseburger soup with bacon, oh yeah!
Kim Bee says
This is a lovely recipe Erin. I would eat a boatload of this soup.
Tom @ Waegook Tom says
Ooh, this sounds lovely! Cheeseburgers in a soup? This is a completely new concept to me, as a Brit. The pictures are drool-worthy.
Sarah | Curious Cuisiniere says
What a great idea! I’d love to try this out!
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
I think even my “Soup is not a meal” hubby would be all over this one!
Jennifer @ Not Your Momma's Cookie says
Mmmmmmm!
The Ninja Baker says
Thank you for the education about snow, Erin. I just thought snow fell period. My excuse: I’ve only lived in Southern California and in Tokyo – spots where snow is rarely seen. =)
Anyway, I love your story about how your cheeseburger soup came to be. And when the kidlets give a thumbs up to a dinner or dessert, you know you’ve got a winner on your hands!
Rach says
I had never heard of cheeseburger soup until just a few weeks ago. Yours looks delicious!
Nancy @ gottagetbaked says
Cheeseburger in a hearty, comforting, slurpable form? You’re my hero! This looks absolutely delicious. It’s so dreary, rainy and cold in Vancouver, I wish I had a big pot of this for dinner tonight.
Lisa {AuthenticSuburbanGourmet} says
Okay – my hubby would LOVE this soup! I need to make this for him soon. Looks very hearty!
