This recipe combines the savory essence of a cheeseburger with the creamy comfort of a soup, making it perfect for family dinners, potlucks, or a warm evening at home. It’s a complete meal in a bowl—rich, filling, and full of flavor. Let’s break it down step by step so you can easily recreate this delicious dish.

Ingredients You’ll Need

1 lb (450 g) ground beef
2 tbsp butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 medium carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 cups chicken broth (or beef broth for a richer flavor)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (sharp works best)
1/2 cup sour cream
Optional garnishes: chopped green onions, crumbled bacon, pickles, or extra cheese

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Brown the Beef

Start by heating a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until it’s browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Once done, drain excess grease and set the beef aside.

Step 2: Cook the Vegetables

In the same pot, melt the butter. Add the onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables soften and the onions turn translucent. This step builds the flavor base of the soup.

Step 3: Add the Potatoes and Broth

Stir in the cubed potatoes, then pour in the chicken (or beef) broth. Sprinkle in garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10–12 minutes, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
