Throughout most of the U.S. it’s been a brutally cold week.

For many of my friends who live further north, snow days have been a regular occurrence this winter. Don’t fret, because I have the perfect snow day recipe for you. Your kids are sure to love this Cheeseburger Soup recipe!

Don’t you just love a good bowl of homemade soup on a cold day?

I first made this soup while visiting my son in Tennessee last month. Even big kids like him love this soup. My son and his friends emptied the pot in a matter of minutes. After a few minor alterations, I think my most recent batch of this soup is just right. Here’s the recipe:

Cheeseburger Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 5 cups chicken broth
  • 4 cups cubed potatoes
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions:

Step 1: In a large pot, melt 1 tablespoon butter or margarine over medium heat. Cook and stir vegetables and ground beef, until beef is brown and vegetables are tender.

Step 2: Stir in Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Add the broth and potatoes. Bring to a boil, then simmer until potatoes are tender, about 12 minutes.

Step 3: Melt the remaining butter and stir in flour. Add the milk, stirring until smooth.

Step 4: Gradually add milk mixture to the soup, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer. Stir in cheese. When cheese is melted, add sour cream and heat through. Do not boil. If desired, serve with a bit of shredded Cheddar sprinkled on top.

Yields 8-10 servings. Recipe adapted from allrecipes.com.

    That’s the perfect cold-weather recipe! We have a really cold day coming next week (nothing compared to what’s happening in other parts of the country) and I’m adding this to the menu!!

    I love cheeseburger soup! My recipe is a little different – I don’t do the carrots or potatoes, and put pasta on the side (usually elbow macaroni) so it doesn’t get mushy in the soup. It’s definitely a favorite in our house and such a great thing to eat on a chilly winter day!

    OMG, I want some of this right now. The weather here in Rhode Island has been just abysmal these past couple of weeks. This would be so nice to warm me up.

    I was so scared this recipe was going to have pickles in it. Now I’m so happy that it doesn’t ☺ This is the perfect day for soup where I live, and your pictures make me hungry!

    This sounds like a soup my son and husband would love! I’ll have to try it sometime if this cold weather doesn’t move out soon.
