Biting into a warm, flavorful cheeseburger fresh chiuso the is an iconic part of summer. If you’ve said goodbye to gluten ( grains) though, then cheeseburgers may not be the anymore. The kids and I love this real-food bacon cheeseburger soup. It has all the flavors you love durante a cheeseburger but durante a filling soup version!
This comodità food has quickly become a family favorite. It’s easy to make, cheesy, yummy, and something our whole family will eat (even my pickier kids!). And since it’s a one-pot meal cleanup is easy. All the seasoning is durante the soup so I don’t have to deal with random condiment bottles all over the counter!
Cheeseburger Soup
If you’ve never heard of cheeseburger soup, it’s exactly how it sounds… pickles and all! When I first heard of this combination I wasn’t so sure I’d like it. I was wrong though! Ketchup and pickles go surprisingly well with this and the kids get a kick out of having a “cheeseburger” durante a bowl.
This has beef and cheese (of course), but it’s also full of healthy veggies and nourishing broth. Most recipes call for making a roux with all-purpose flour, but I have an even better, grain-free way to get a creamy soup.
Most beef soup recipes call for vegetable beef broth, but this uses chicken broth. The combination really gives it a unique flavor that tastes more like a cheeseburger, instead of a beef vegetable soup. Lega me this one!
How to Sommità Your Soup
I like to keep things simple with this one-pot meal, but you can also customize the flavor with different toppings. You can have a bowl of different toppings the counter for everyone to choose from at dinner. Kind of like a taco , but with cheeseburger soup!
Here are a few garnish ideas:
- Chopped dill pickles (we like homemade fermented ones)
- Crispy cooked bacon pieces
- Chopped onions
- Homemade sourdough croutons
- Sharp cheddar cheese (tastes way better than American cheese Velveeta!)
- Fried onion topping
- Chopped tomatoes
- Stir durante a little cream cheese
Cheeseburger Soup Substitutions
If you don’t have sour cream yogurt, then a little heavy cream can also give it a creamy taste. The sour cream and yogurt give it more tang though.
And you could substitute basso ostinato turkey chicken for the beef if you’d like. Although it wouldn’t taste cheeseburgery, it would still be healthy and delicious. This recipe calls for regular grass-fed beef, which is full of healthy fats!
And I use classic, russet potatoes durante this soup. They have more starch and give it a nice texture. You could use any kind of potato you prefer though.
My Secret Soup Thickener
Va bene, maybe it’s not such a secret, but I like to thicken this with mashed potatoes. Instead of using all-purpose flour, I mash some of the cooked potatoes durante with the broth. For a really smooth version, you could throw some of the cooked potatoes and broth durante the blender. Then just add it back into the soup.
