This Crock Pot Cheeseburger Soup is one luxurious soup. I mean, seriously, it’s award-winning!

CROCK POT CHEESEBURGER SOUP
This awesome cheeseburger soup is cheesy and creamy and filled with flavorful ground beef, potatoes, and carrots. It will keep bellies full and happy a long time after it’s eaten. My husband gave me rave reviews after he ate some too, and that is coming from someone who is not the world’s biggest soup fan. No joke. 🙂
I cannot wait to make this delicious soup again, and I know I’ll be making it for years to come. It’s a definite keeper!

I just made this, doubled the recipe, and more than half of it is gone because everyone wanted seconds, some of us thirds. Delicious. I followed The recipe pretty closely, but made a few changes. I didn’t use Velveeta brand cheese, but a knock off of the same thing. I also added Ground Mustard, Chili Powder, and Dill weed to the veggies and broth while they were cooking, and doubled (well, quadrupled) the called for parsley and basil. I also browned the beef (I used 1.5 lbs [doubled] just because that’s what came in the package, but nobody seemed to mind the extra meat!) with a little chili powder, salt, pepper, and dried minced onion. This was delicious. Creamy, cheesy, and awesome.
Will double recipe fit in 7qt crockpot?
I am looking to make this soup soon. Can anyone tell me if I could use frozen diced potatoes? I know have some in my freezer now. Just trying to use what I have. Thanks so much!
About how much did this recipe make?
Do you happen to know how many calories per serving?
I would love to make this, but I live alone. Does this freeze well?
Yes, it freezes well. I’ve made this soup a few times, we love it so much! when you re-heat, just make sure to do it on the stovetop, not in the crockpot.
After browning and draining the ground beef, add a little catsup and mustard to the meat and mix well. Brings out the ‘cheeseburger’ flavor. Yum!
Made this soup last nite turned out great, will make it again
This was the best soup we have ever had! My entire family raved on it and my kids which dont eat potatos or veggies, ate a huge bowl of it, raving the entire time! The only complaint i have is it made us terribly thirsty and extremely full lol now we are all sleepy! Gonna def share this recipe and cook it a whole lot more!
After reading the comments I had to try this soup. I am always afraid to try a recipe if there aren’t many comments. It was really good! Thank you! I did also half the velveta like I saw others did. Velveta has such a strong taste I wanted to try half first. My very picky 2 and 3 year old love it. That is such a plus! I made the copycat red lobster biscuits to go with it and it was a great match.
I may do three fourths the amount of cheese next time instead of just half
Wondering if u can do on stove top in dutch oven instead of crockpot??
Just made this for the family. It was a hit with everyone ages 15-86.
I will be making this again, SOON.
The only change, the next time I will make 1 1/2 times the recipe so
we have leftovers.
I’m not a cooker! So much so when my family saw me making this they teased me lol but have decided it’s time to try. Your recipe was so easy to follow and turned out sooo good! I’m so proud of myself and its gotten good reviews from the family. Thank you so much for sharing and I’ll be trying more 🙂
Just made this – it was so yummy! Everyone really liked it. I probably had 2 cups of cheddar in it and added corn. Next time I will add some mushrooms (didn’t think of it in time).
Thank you so much for the recipe!
I made this soup earlier this year and am getting ready to make more tonight. It is one of the best soups I have ever had! Thank you for the recipe!
This was OUTSTANDING! By far the best soup I’ve had in a long time. My only complaint was my potatoes weren’t completely cooked after 6 hours on high and cutting them small. Next time I’ll boil them a bit before putting in the crock pot. Will make this again for sure!
I added garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce to add some flavor and cooked this in the stove. It was yummy.
I made this today in the crock pot, super yummy! Inadded a little pinch of thyme and rosemary, as well as using more Velvetta.
I made this on the stove tonight. Didn’t plan ahead of time for dinner and knew I had everything except celery. I browned the beef, added onion, carrots then potatoes. Put in chicken broth and simmered 20 minutes,until potatoes were done. Made my roux in a small saucepan, cooked a couple of minutes then added to my simmering beef mixture. Whisked until incorporated then added milk then 2 cups of shredded Colby & cheddar cheeses. Added pepper and parsley (instead of basil). Served with grilled cheese sandwiches and my husband, who doesn’t like soup, said it was good! I think it took just about 30 minutes to make it. Will make it again.
Made this tonight for dinner. It was a snowy day.. I left out the celery and carrots.. will make again!! I you love cheeseburger you will love this! Yummy
Just made this soup today….excellent! Followed the recipe step by step. Once the soup was in bowls, I topped each with a little shredded lettuce and some diced tomato. Added a little more burger experience. This soup’s a keeper!
I made this multiple times and it is always a hit! Instead of velveeta which I used the first time, I used extra sharp cheddar it was even better! I saw another comment and was wondering the same how it would turn out with beef broth!
I did not have celery so I left it out but I added corn and a small can of diced tomatoes. Also used beef broth instead of chicken and I used parsley instead of basil. Also added a touch of garlic and real bacon bits. Bottom line is use what you have, add what you like, make it your own. . I did it all stove top. It is delicious!
Sent the link to all my kids.
My parents have made this soup for our family for YEARS. It is a favorite. However, I didn’t have a big enough pot to cook it in my new home but then I found this one for the crockpot :). When I made it, I added an extra potato, an extra carrot (i shredded them myself), and an extra stalk of celery. I also added about an extra 1/4 c. flour into the soup after the cheese and whatnot to thicken it more. I also used a different brand of cheese (Clancy’s from Aldi’s), and it came out PERFECT. Exactly like my family makes it. Thank you for the recipe!
I made this low carb! I did almost 2 lbs of ground beef, subbed chopped cauliflower for the potatoes and only added about 1/2 cup carrots. I browned my butter then whisked 1/2 tsp xanthan gum into the melted butter. Then I quickly whisked in 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and 1/2 cup of sour cream until thick then added to the crockpot! Then added 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese! Tastes great!
This recipe was yummy, I even got a thumbs up from my picky husband!! We sprinkled a touch of shredded cheese on top and served with saltines, very filling!!
