Have you ever made something you saw online, in a magazine, or a cookbook and, even though you made it, didn’t expect it taste good? Well. This was it for me. This was it for all of us. Bacon Cheeseburger Soup. I love bacon, I like hamburgers, but cheeseburgers… not really my thing.
This soup. O.M.G. And I never use those words or letters. But this soup is the best I have ever made. The best I have ever eaten. The BEST.
Did I mention how simple it is to make this?

*This post may contain affiliate links. For more information see my disclosure policy.*
Start by simmering 1 diced onion, 3 cloves of minced garlic, 2 carrots shredded. Add in a pound of ground beef and 2 tsp parsley and 2 tsp of basil.
Cook until the burger is brown and cooked. I use my large pot, the one I’ll have my soup in, just to save on dirty dishes. While that is cooking, cut up 4-5 potatoes. I dice mine small, think bite size for young kids.
Once your burger is thoroughly cooked, add in the potatoes, and three cups of chicken stock. It will just come to the stop of everything in your pot. Just. Bring to a boil on medium-high then reduce the temperature to medium-low. Cook the potatoes, until very tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, shred two cups of cheddar cheese.
Also, take 1/4 cup of butter or margarine, melt over medium heat, and add in 1/4 cup of flour, stirring to mix completely.
Once the potatoes are thoroughly cooked, turn off the heat, add in the butter and flour mixture and give it a good stir. This will thicken up the soup a lot. Then add your shredded cheese and half a cup of bacon bits.Stir, stir, stir. Then serve.
Hope you enjoy this as much as we did!
