Cheesy hamburger potato soup is a rich and indulgent dish that combines ground beef, velvety potatoes, and melted cheese into one bowl of deliciousness. Each spoonful is a mouthwatering blend of textures and flavors, from the creaminess of the broth to the heartiness of the beef and potatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until fragrant and softened, about 3-4 minutes.

2. Add ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Cook until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease.

3. Stir in diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.

4. Add milk and heavy cream. Stir to combine and allow to heat through without boiling.

5. Gradually stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and soup is smooth.

6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer for another 5-10 minutes to thicken and meld flavors.

7. Serve hot, garnished with extra cheese, crispy bacon bits, or sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat.

Customization: Swap ground beef with turkey or sausage, or add extra veggies like carrots and celery.

Freezing Tip: Freeze before adding cream and cheese, then stir them in while reheating for best texture.
