Tastes just like the real thing and is perfect for a cool fall or cold winter day!
I don't know about you, but I love cheeseburgers. Sure, they aren't the healthiest, but the grease and cheese just hit the spot. This soup is a fun play on the real deal and tastes like it too! I've made a few versions of this soup, but this one has been my favorite.
Ingredients
Serves 4
1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 cup diced yellow onion
3/4 cup shredded carrot
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
4 tablespoons butter, divided
3 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1/4 cup pickle juice
2 tablespoons diced pickles
4 cups peeled potatoes diced (about 2 medium potatoes)
1/4 cups all-purpose flour
8 ounces shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
4 ounces shredded pepper jack cheese
1 1/2 cups milk (2% is recommended)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Directions
In a large saucepan, brown beef over medium-high heat. Drain and set aside.
In the same saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Saute onion and carrots until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
Add garlic powder and cook until just fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add chicken broth, mustard, pickle juice, potatoes, celery salt, parsley and beef. Stir and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and cover, simmering for 10-12 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
When there is about 5 minutes left in the simmering, melt the remaining butter in a small skillet. Add flour, stirring and cooking for about 3 minutes or until bubbly.
Add the butter/flour roux mixture to your soup and bring to a boil, stirring for 2 minutes.
Reduce heat to low. Add pepper jack and cheddar cheeses, milk, pickle, salt and pepper. Continue to cook and stir until cheese melts.
Take off the heat and enjoy!
This one usually only comes out in the fall and winter time for us, but it's a great meal. Plus it's a fun way to hit that cheeseburger craving without the bread. Try it out and let me know what you think! Tag me on Instagram or Facebook, hashtag #thegardenandgrub, and leave me comments below!
