💬 Reader prompt: Are you a “soup with bread” person or a “just give me the soup and a spoon” kind of eater?

I love soups! Especially in the Winter but heck, let’s be honest, they are fabulous any time of the year! What’s not to like? It’s a dish that you can make in one pan, only takes about 30 minutes to make, and it’s a complete meal! That should make anyone happy that’s make dinner!

I thought I knew what soup was my all time favorite but this one just blew it out of the water! I honestly wanted to lick my bowl clean!

👩‍🍳 Cooking Tips for Soup Success

• Brown the beef well — that caramelization = flavor.
• Cut veggies evenly — so they cook at the same rate.
• Don’t boil cream — simmer gently to avoid curdling.
• Taste and adjust — salt levels can vary depending on your broth.
• Make it ahead — flavors deepen after a night in the fridge.

💬 Reader prompt: Do you like your soup thick and stew‑like or more brothy?

🎨 Recipe Variations

• Cheeseburger Soup — stir in shredded cheddar before serving.
• Low‑Carb — skip potatoes and add cauliflower florets.
• Spicy Kick — add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.
• Italian Twist — add diced tomatoes, basil, and oregano.
• Veggie Boost — toss in peas, corn, or spinach at the end.

🧒 Kid Tips

• Keep seasoning mild for little taste buds.
• Serve with fun toppings like shredded cheese or goldfish crackers.
• Let kids sprinkle parsley or cheese on top.
• Make mini bread bowls for extra fun.

💬 Reader prompt: Parents — do your kids fish out the veggies or eat them first?

🛒 Grocery Hacks

• Ground beef — buy in bulk, cook, and freeze in portions.
• Veggies — frozen diced carrots and celery save chopping time.
• Broth — keep bouillon cubes or paste on hand for emergencies.
• Cream — half‑and‑half works if you want it lighter.
• Garlic — jarred minced garlic is a weeknight lifesaver.

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 small chopped onion
• 1 cup carrots, diced
• 1 cup celery, diced
• 3 to 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 cups small cubed potatoes
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

1. In a Dutch oven on a medium heat, brown and crumble your ground beef. Drain the excess grease off the meat and leave the meat in the colander while you prepare the veggies.
2. Melt butter in the same pot you prepared the hamburger, on a medium heat; add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook and stir until the veggies are tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
3. Stir in salt and pepper. Add potatoes and broth and bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer until potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
4. In a small bowl, combine heavy cream, milk, and flour and whisk until smooth, about 1 minute. Gradually add this to the soup. Stirring constantly. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low and stir in cheese until melted. Add sour cream; stir until just heated through.

💭 Final Thoughts

This soup is proof that comfort food can be simple, satisfying, and adaptable. It’s the kind of recipe you can make from memory after a few tries, swapping in whatever you have on hand and still ending up with something delicious.

💬 Reader prompt: If you could only add one extra ingredient to this soup, what would it be?

Some soups are just soups. This Creamy Hamburger Soup? It’s a weeknight hero, a cozy hug, and a “please make this again” kind of recipe. It’s the smell of onions and garlic sizzling in butter, the sight of steam curling up from the pot, and the joy of that first spoonful when the creamy broth meets tender veggies and savory beef.

I love that it’s flexible — you can keep it classic, spice it up, or make it lighter. It’s forgiving, too; even if your veggie dice isn’t perfect or you swap cream for milk, it will still taste like something you’d proudly serve to friends and family. And it’s the kind of recipe that makes people linger at the table, chatting and reaching for seconds.

So here’s my challenge: make it, share it, and tag your creations with #HamburgerSoupSquad so we can all drool together, swap ideas, and maybe even inspire the next great soup twist. I want to see your cheesiest toppings, your boldest veggie swaps, your “we ate it all before I could take a picture” confessions.

Here’s to warm kitchens, happy bellies, and recipes that bring people together. Here’s to you — because you’re about to make something that will have everyone asking, “When are you making this again?” 🍲💛
