Description
A creamy, cheesy soup loaded with ground beef, potatoes, and pickles for all the flavors of a burger in a bowl.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 cups chicken or beef broth
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup diced dill pickles (optional but amazing!)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, cook the ground beef and diced onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Drain any excess grease.
- Add the diced potatoes and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the milk until smooth. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened.
- Stir the milk mixture into the soup, then add the shredded cheese. Stir until melted and creamy.
- Add the diced pickles (if using), and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for a few more minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Ladle into bowls, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot!
