Step 4: Add Liquids and Macaroni

Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking to remove any lumps from the roux. Stir everything together, then add the uncooked macaroni and diced tomatoes (if using). Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.

Cover the pot and simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the macaroni is tender and has absorbed the beefy flavor.


Step 5: Stir in Milk and Seasonings

Once the macaroni is cooked, pour in the milk (or half-and-half) and add mustard, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well and allow the soup to simmer gently for 2–3 minutes. This creates a rich and creamy base.


Step 6: Add the Cheese

Turn off the heat and gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and the soup becomes thick, smooth, and luscious.

If you want a stronger cheese flavor, feel free to add an extra handful!


Step 7: Adjust and Garnish

Taste your soup and adjust the seasoning — add more salt, pepper, or even a pinch of cayenne if you want a little kick.

Serve hot, topped with chopped green onions, crispy bacon bits, or a sprinkle of extra cheese for the perfect finishing touch.


🍲 Serving Ideas

  • Pair this soup with garlic bread, toasted buns, or a simple green salad.
  • For a “loaded cheeseburger” twist, top each bowl with pickles, tomato slices, or even crumbled cooked bacon.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of milk to bring back the creamy texture.

💡 Tips for Perfect Cheeseburger Soup

  • Don’t overcook the pasta: It continues to soften as the soup sits.
  • Use freshly shredded cheese: Pre-shredded cheese has anti-caking agents that can make the soup grainy.
  • Customize it: Add diced carrots, celery, or bell peppers for more nutrition and texture.
  • Make it spicy: Stir in a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes.
