Bacon Cheeseburger Soup

Today I’m putting together a bacon cheeseburger soup, perfect for a chilly fall day when you need something hearty and delicious. Some might even say the fries are in this soup!

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ lb bacon
  • 3 med potatoes
  • 3 carrots
  • 1 large onion
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 28 oz can diced tomatoes (not drained)
  • ½ gallon milk
  • Salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder (to taste)
  • ½ lb Velveeta type block of cheese
  • Diced pickles

Instructions

  1. Prepare for this recipe by chopping/dicing potatoes, carrots, and onion. Also chop the (raw) bacon (separately).

  2. In large soup pot, brown ground beef and chopped bacon together until done. Drain fat, add meat back to large soup pot.

  3. To large soup pot also add prepared carrots, potatoes, and onion. Add beef broth. Boil/simmer until vegetables are tender.

  4. When vegetables are tender, add can of tomatoes and milk. Heat slowly until warm.

  5. Taste the soup. At this point I generally add salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder (to taste). The amounts depend on what kind of beef broth I use! Remember: don't add too much salt if you're planning to add pickles at the end!

  6. Cut Velveeta cheese into chunks, add to soup. Stir to melt.

  7. Stir pickles into soup. Serve.

Recipe Notes

** This soup can absolutely be modified to your liking. Take out the tomatoes if you don't like them. Add more cheese or onions if that's your thing. This soup is all up to you, and the ingredients/amounts are approximate!
