Cheeseburger Soup is my new favorite soup! Your house will smell amazing and this soup tastes amazing. Who wouldn't like creamy cheesy soup with your favorite cheeseburger fixings on top?
I'm pretty positive you won't even miss the bun! Burgers are one of my favorite foods to eat in the Summertime and now that it is starting to transition over to Fall, this is the perfect alternative to a cheeseburger.
The weather is starting to get cooler here. It's that time of year when you have to dress in layers in the morning to stay warm and take the extra layers off in the afternoon. Lately, I've been craving soup or chili. There's a lot of soup recipes on this site and if you're trying to find more of them use the search bar located in the sidebar. On a desktop that is on the right-hand side of this page, but if you are using your phone, that is located towards the bottom of this page.

We haven't had potatoes either time we've made it, but it has been delicious and I think I'll continue to leave them out. Without potatoes and with unsweetened almond milk it's only about 5 green WW points, even with the bacon topping!

Yes, it is supposed to be more like a potato cheeseburger soup.

I made a stove top version - it has a strong potato soup taste and consistently. I like potato soup but my son does not. If I make it again I will leave out the potatoes and I added on some sharp cheddar in additional to the velvetta to cut some of the potato flavor and amp of the cheese taste. I did love it with some chopped dill pickles on top at the end. I am curious what it would be like with beef broth instead of chicken also. Nice for a cold winter day.

I made this for my family and everyone loved it, including myself. It has wonderful flavor. A little crisp crumbled bacon on top perfects this delicious and healthy soup. I used 93% lean ground beef, and have not tried it with ground turkey yet, but will try that next time. My kids even took some leftovers to school for lunch!
