Ingredients
Units
Scale
Meat
- 1 lb Ground Beef
Aromatics
- 1 Onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
Vegetables
- 2 Carrots, diced
- 2 Potatoes, diced
Liquid Base
- 4 cups Beef Broth
- 1 cup Cream
Flavor Enhancers
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: In a large pot, heat some olive oil over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook it until it is browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
- Sauté the Aromatics: Add diced onions and chopped garlic to the pot, sautéing them until they become fragrant and the onions turn translucent, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the Vegetables: Add the diced carrots and potatoes to the pot, stirring everything together. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to soften the vegetables slightly.
- Pour in the Broth: Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Then reduce the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, around 15-20 minutes.
- Create the Creamy Base: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the cream, Worcestershire sauce, and shredded cheddar cheese until everything is melted and smooth.
- Season and Serve: Finally, add salt and pepper to taste before serving. Enjoy your homemade Cheeseburger Soup warm in your favorite bowls!
Notes
- Don’t Rush the Browning: Take your time browning the beef; it enhances the flavor.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables make a noticeable difference in the taste and texture.
- Taste as You Go: Adjust seasonings as necessary throughout the cooking process for the best flavor.
- Experiment with Thickness: If the soup is too thick, add more broth or a splash of water to reach your desired consistency.
- Garnish Creatively: Use your favorite toppings creatively to elevate the appearance and flavor profile.
