What better time than the fall for a fresh pot of soup. This time of year that's what I seem to want; soup, soup and more soup. I look for hearty one meal soups and this one fits the bill! I found this recipe recently and I've modified it to my taste, feel free to do the same. Hope you enjoy!

How To Make cheeseburger soup

  • 1
    This is what you need.
  • 2
    Brown ground meat, drain and rinse to remove grease; set aside.
  • 3
    Saute onions, carrots, and celery in Olive Oil until vegetables are slightly tender; add basil and parsley.
  • 4
    Add browned meat, potatoes and chicken broth to sauted vegetables; bring to slow boil, reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are slightly tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remember potatoes with continue to cook and you don't want then mushy.
  • 5
    Meanwhile, combine melted butter and flour to make a paste. Add this to the vegetable and potato mixture, Over a low heat, continue stirring until thickened. Add cheese and milk, stirring until cheese has melted. Add salt and pepper to taste. NOTE: the low heat will prevent the milk from cuddling.
  • 6
    If desired, stir in sour cream just before serving. NOTE: I opted to not put the sour cream in the pot of soup, however for those of us that wanted sour cream I let them put in as little or as much as they wanted.
  • 7
    Serve with warm crusty french bread or biscuits.
