Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (Halal)
1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced
4 medium potatoes, diced

4 cups beef broth
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup milk
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (Halal version)
Salt and pepper to taste

Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, add the ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until no longer pink. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Step 2: Add the chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

Step 3: Toss in the diced potatoes and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Step 4: Pour in the beef broth, then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Step 5: Lower the heat and stir in the milk and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the soup becomes creamy.

Step 6: Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir well and let the soup simmer on low heat for an additional 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 7: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Tips & Variations

For a thicker soup, use less milk or add a tablespoon of flour when stirring in the cheese.

Swap out cheddar cheese for pepper jack for a spicy twist.
Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a subtle sweetness.
For extra crunch, serve with toasted bread or croutons.

Storage

Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. If the soup thickens too much when chilled, add a splash of milk to loosen it while reheating.

FAQs

Can I use ground turkey instead of ground beef?

Yes, ground turkey works well as a leaner alternative. Cook it thoroughly and follow the same steps for a delicious variation.

Is this soup freezer-friendly?

Cheeseburger soup can be frozen, but the texture may change slightly due to the dairy content. Freeze in a sealed container for up to 2 months, then thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating gently.
