Cheeseburger Soup
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3 large carrots sliced or diced
- 1-2 onions diced
- 4 cups of chopped potatoes whatever size you prefer
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. each of ground mustard coriander, garlic powder
- 6 cups of homemade chicken stock
- 5-6 cooked hamburger patties crumbled or roughly chopped (you could also just use fresh ground beef if you don't have leftover burgers, but it may be less flavorful than if you use burgers that are already seasoned, like in my homemade burger patty recipe. I would suggest perhaps frying up the meat with the spices from the burger recipe I linked, then proceeding with the soup recipe.)
- 2 cups of whole milk or 1 cup of cream
- 1/2 cup arrowroot powder or rice flour in a lidded jar with 1 cup of water and shake to dissolve- this way it won't make lumps when you pour it into the soup.
- 2-3 cups grated cheese sharp cheddar, or another kind with strong flavor is best
Instructions
- Saute the onions and carrots in butter. This can be in your soup pot to save dishes!
- Once they are starting to soften, add the potatoes and the meat. Let them get all nice and cozy together for 5-10 minutes, then add the broth and the rest of the ingredients, except the cheese.
- Simmer until potatoes are fully cooked and soup is nicely thickened. Just before serving, stir in cheese. Pairs beautifully with a side Caesar!
