Cheeseburger soup recipe

Cheeseburger soup recipe brings the flavour of one of America's favorite food to hot soup.

This is one of the most versatile creations you can build in your kitchen. There are so many ways to change the flavor and the tang that you can have great fun with any recipe.

Many spices can be added to the hamburger or ground turkey while you cook it. They will blend into the meat and spice it before it is added to the cheeseburger soup. Chili powder, Italian seasoning, or lemon pepper. It will not be quite the same without garlic to boast a robust flavor so do not forget it. In short, add anything you think will taste good and work well with the whole family.

Some cooks begin with a milk base to make it creamier. Milk burns easily so be careful to keep the cooking temperature low. Once the milk is hot, add cheese, usually cheddar. Velveeta is also a good choice because it has a nice cheesy flavor but has a softer texture which melts more easily and evenly in liquid.

Vegetables should be added for extra flavor and nutrition. Green pepper and onion are great additions. Tomato adds a warm color to the soup. Other vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and zucchini add variety and up the nutritional value.

If you like spicy food, add chillies like Jalapenos. It should wake you up. A little chopped pepper bacon puts a grand cheeseburger flavor into the soup (like this Bacon cheeseburger soup recipe) and make the whole kitchen smells awesome at the same time.

Okay, let's make some cheeseburger soup!

Cheeseburger chowder

Cheeseburger soup is an all-season dish but during the cold depths of winter, there is only one improvement for it - chowder it.

Traditionally chowders are best when slow cooked all day, so a crock pot is ideal, however, the recipe can be cooked and served in as little as forty minutes.

The following cheeseburger soup recipe serves 4. The only problem is do you eat it with a fork or do you sip it with a spoon? (^_^)

Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 small bag of summer potatoes
1 onion chopped
4 cups heavy cream
2 cups shredded cheddar
1 stalk kale or cabbage
3 tablespoons of ketchup
1 tablespoon of mustard (yellow or Dijon)
*Use flour as needed to thicken the base

1. Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut into small cubes
2. Lightly brown the beef in a frying pan with some oil. There is no need to cook it thoroughly if you plan to let it simmer throughout the day. But if you are short on time, it should be fully cooked before being added to the pot
3. Add the chopped onion, potatoes and cabbage. Cook it for a couple of minutes
4. Add the ketchup, mustard and heavy cream
5. Cook until everything is cooked
6. Add the shredded cheese, stir to melt
7. Transfer to a crock pot to slowly cook
8. If you aren't going to slow-cook it, add 2 tablespoon of flour to thicken the soup

Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
3 cups potatoes, diced and peeled

2. In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoon butter and then sauté the carrots, celery, parsley and basil until the carrots are tender. When that occurs, add in the chicken stock and bring it to a boil. Now, add the browned beef back into the skillet, along with the diced potatoes.
3. Gently simmer for 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. In a separate small saucepan melt the remaining 3 tablespoon of butter then add in the flour and mix until it reaches a thick paste-like consistency. Whisk in the milk and continue cooking over medium low heat until the mixture has thickened and is smooth
5. Add this flour mixture and the ground beef into a bigger soup pot and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
6. Reduce heat and mix in the American cheese, stirring until all the cheese has melted and is thoroughly mixed in. Season to taste with salt and white pepper and enjoy.
