A few weekends ago, I made lunch for my kiddo’s youth group. The boys requested my Cheeseburger Soup. It is a favorite in this house. But since I changed up my Potato Soup a bit and now make it with frozen hashbrowns, I thought I would do the same with my cheeseburger soup and see how it turned it.
Well, since I’m posting it here, you probably already know… it was great! We all loved it and it took a small fraction of the time it used to take because I didn’t have to peel any potatoes!! YAY!
So, here’s the recipe for this scrumptious, yet simple Cheeseburger Soup.

Yum this sounds so good. I am going to give it a try. When you say 12 oz American Cheese is that shredded cheese or slices that you use? When do you add the potatoes? Thanks so much.

The American cheese I use is the sliced. Hehehe, I count the hashbrowns as a veggie 😉 , so I add it with the meat and other veggies.
Looks so yummy. I will definitely have to try this one. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Carrie!
I tried out this soup on Thursday! It was much better than a crockpot version I attempted as a newly wed : ) It made enough for dinner, leftovers, and several containers in my freezer! Thank you!

I loved this recipe!! I made my own american cheese (which is super easy!) and it was all so delicious!. Thank you!
This sounds delish! From the picture, it appears you cook the ground beef before adding in everything else but the directions don’t say that. Which is it?
In the ingredients she says “cooked”
Would it be possible to do this in a crockpot?
If I don’t have American cheese can I use sliced velveta? What can I replace the hash browns with if I don’t have them on hand
Yes! Do use Velveeta! I also threw a bay leaf in.
