This cheeseburger soup has all the great flavors of a cheeseburger wrapped into an amazing soup. You have to taste it to believe it!
The dreary Northwest days and cold, dark, winter nights have me turning to large pots of heart-warming comfort food. There’s something wonderfully soothing in a bowl of chili, chowder, soup, or stew.
I’m always looking for recipes to add to my comfort food collection and I’m excited to share this crockpot cheeseburger soup with you today. It's flavored with onion, celery, garlic, Cheddar cheese, potatoes, and chicken stock, giving the soup a truly unique taste.
Now if you’re not a fan of cheese and potatoes, you may prefer Easy Gluten Free Slow Cooker Lasagna. But if you like the flavor of a good cheeseburger, you’ll want to try this soup.
How to Make Crockpot Cheeseburger Soup – Step by Step
Melt butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until the meat is no longer pink (photo 1).
Stir in onion, celery, carrot, and garlic and cook for 5 minutes (photo 2).
Add flour and stir to coat meat and vegetables (photo 3). Cook for 1 minute, then add in milk. Stir the mixture until smooth (photo 4).
Bring mixture to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a 4-qt crockpot, slow cooker, or Instant Pot.
Stir in chicken stock and potatoes (photo 5). Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours until potatoes are tender.
Add Cheddar cheese to soup and stir until cheese melts (photo 6). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish servings with ketchup and mustard.
Pro Tips
- Dice the potatoes into small, equal-sized, pieces to insure even cooking time.
- Check the potatoes for tenderness before adding the Cheddar cheese. Depending on the size of your potato pieces, you may need additional cooking time.
- Wait to add the cheese until just before serving. The cheese will curdle if you add it while the soup is still cooking.
- If you don’t have a crockpot or slow cooker, you can make this soup in an Instant Pot. I use an 8-qt Instant Pot on the slow cooker setting.
Using ground turkey makes the soup a little lighter, but you’ll be amazed how the flavor reminds you of eating a cheeseburger. If you or your family prefer, you can use lean ground beef to make this soup.
