Cheeseburger Soup – Your favorite summer time sandwich in a warm and comforting soup. Top with bacon, cheese and your other favorite burger toppings for a delicious dinner!
Soup just might be the best and most comforting meal once the weather turns cold. It can be a soup that comes together in just minutes like our favorite Wonton Soup.
Or it can sit in the crock pot or on the stove and simmer for hours. Slow Cooker Chili is a hearty soup that will warm you up any chili night.
And what goes better with soup than bread. It is pretty much half the reason I make any soup in the first place. Red Lobster Biscuits are a hit with just about anything, so they are always a good idea. But if you want something a little more traditional then these Soft Breadsticks are delicious!
This Cheeseburger Soup recipe will remind you of summer. It has all the flavors you get from grilling your favorite burger, but in soup form. You can even top with your favorite burger toppings. Cheese, bacon, pickles, you name it!
How to Make Cheeseburger Soup
- This Cheeseburger Soup recipe has all the components of a classic grilled cheeseburger. It starts out with browning ground beef and onion together until the onion is nice and soft and the beef is cooked.
- I like to add in Worcestershire sauce to give it even more of a beefy flavor.
- Next you add in tomato paste and chicken broth to make the soup come together. This gives it a nice rich taste and smooth texture.
- After the soup comes to a simmer you use a little milk and flour to thicken the soup and make it nice and creamy.
- It would be cheeseburger soup without some cheese, right? I like to use cheddar cheese, but if you have a favorite you put on a burger, feel free to mix it up!
- Finally once the soup has come together season with salt, pepper, and a little ketchup and mustard to make it tangy and delicious.
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.
So if you are looking for a new soup to try, this is it. The whole family is going to love it. You may even start making a double batch to freeze for later!

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;)

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!
