On cold, blustery days there is nothing like cuddling up with a big, steaming bowl of soup. My go-to recipes are usually this easy Chicken Corn Chowder recipe or my favorite Italian Wedding Soup, but sometimes I’m craving something meatier.

A few years ago, I hosted a Soup Swap party. It’s very similar to a holiday Cookie Exchange but instead of swapping cookies, you exchange soups. This is one of my favorite ways to connect with my friends over food.
I wanted to make a unique soup that no one had tried before and this recipe for Cheeseburger Soup was born.
It turned out great! I ended up making a double batch so that I had enough to swap with everyone else at the party. I love when I can easily double a recipe – it’s perfect to stash some in the freezer for a night when I don’t feel like cooking.
This recipe is loaded with lots of meaty flavor. The base is full of aromatics – like celery, carrots and onions. To boost the flavor even more, I add some of my homemade Burger Seasoning Blend to the Cheeseburger Soup recipe.
This is the blend that I always use when making burgers so I figured it would be perfect in this soup.

Tips for Making this Recipe for Cheeseburger Soup
- If you’re short on time, skip the prep stage by buying pre-chopped veggies. Many grocery stores sell veggies already chopped in the produce department.
- If you like to plan ahead, use ground beef that you’ve already browned and frozen. It’s a great timesaver.
- I like to make double batches of this soup and freeze half for another meal.

When do you add the ground beef? Want to try this soon
hi there,
Was wondering what can I replace Velveeta with? I’m from Australia. And does All purpose flour mean plain? And how much Christine?
Kind regards
When does the ground beef get added? That isn’t mentioned in the recipe.
what step is the ground beef added?
I just updated the recipe. Thanks for pointing out my omission. Enjoy! 🙂
It still doesn’t say when to add the beef. Can you help? Thank you!
It’s there. Toward the end of the instructions. You add the beef when you add the butter/flour paste.
