Cheeseburger Soup
Delicious and healthy cheeseburger soup is a cheesy and veggie-packed soup, filled with all the best parts of the classic cheeseburger.
Servings: 8
Equipment
- 1 Instant Pot for making bone broth at home
- 1 Large Pot or Slow Cooker
- 1 Skillet
Ingredients
- 5 large potatoes chopped
- 5 carrots diced
- 2 onions diced
- 5 stalks celery diced
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 2 pounds ground beef browned
- 10 ounces cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- several grindings fresh black pepper
Instructions
- If you are making homemade broth, start by making that in the Instant Pot.
- In a large pot over medium heat, add a little olive oil, butter, or coconut oil.
- Add onions and celery.
- Sauté until soft, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add in garlic and cook for just a minute or two, being careful not to burn.
- Add in carrots and potatoes.
- Strain broth into the pot if using homemade, or just add in store-bought broth.
- Allow it to simmer for about 20 minutes until the potatoes and carrots are soft.
- Brown ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up into bite sized pieces, for a couple of minutes in a large skillet until cooked, and add to the pot.
- Sprinkle in dried or fresh parsley to the simmering soup.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Shred cheese and add to the pot.
- Serve, and add your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Make less dishes by reusing your pots. I like to go straight from making a whole chicken in the Instant Pot, to making bone broth, and then straight to making soup.
- Brown the ground beef before adding it to the pot for a much more delicious and flavorful meal.
- Add some frozen peas or green beans to the hot soup to help cool it down enough while also cooking the veggies before serving.
- Add your favorite cheeseburger toppings to the soup. We like extra shredded cheese, crispy bacon, diced tomato, diced onion, green onions, pickles, avocado, and a dollop of homemade raw milk sour cream to make this soup extra thick and creamy. You could even add a drizzle of hot sauce if you prefer to add a little spice.
