A creamy, hearty soup that tastes just like a cheeseburger in a bowl. Made in one pot with ground beef, potatoes, and sharp cheddar, this 30-minute recipe is perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup dill pickles, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: Place a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer beef to a plate, leaving 1 tablespoon of fat in the pot.
  2. Sauté aromatics: Reduce heat to medium. Add diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  3. Add potatoes and broth: Pour in chicken broth and add cubed potatoes. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
  4. Add milk and cheese: Remove pot from heat. Stir in whole milk and shredded cheddar cheese until completely melted and smooth.
  5. Return beef: Add cooked ground beef back to the pot. Stir to combine. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. If too thick, add a splash of broth or milk.
  6. Serve: Ladle into bowls. Top with crumbled bacon, diced tomato, chopped pickles, and a dollop of sour cream. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, shred your own cheese to avoid clumping. Add cheese off the heat to prevent it from seizing. Reheat leftovers gently over low heat to maintain creamy texture.
