Here’s a delicious and creamy potato hamburger soup recipe that’s hearty, comforting, and easy to make. 🍲
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 cup milk or heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 2 tbsp butter or oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional garnish: chopped green onions, parsley, or extra cheese
Instructions
- Cook the beef:
- In a large pot, heat butter or oil over medium heat.
- Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Sauté aromatics:
- Add onion and garlic to the beef. Cook 3–4 minutes until softened.
- Add potatoes and broth:
- Stir in diced potatoes and beef broth.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 15–20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
- Make it creamy:
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in milk or heavy cream.
- Heat gently (do not boil) until warmed through.
- Optional cheese:
- Stir in shredded cheddar for extra richness.
- Season & serve:
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with green onions, parsley, or more cheese if desired.
Tips & Variations
- Vegetables: Add carrots, celery, or corn for more texture.
- Thicker soup: Mash some of the potatoes in the soup to naturally thicken it.
- Healthier version: Use lean ground beef or ground turkey and low-fat milk.
- Slow cooker version: Brown the beef first, then combine all ingredients (except milk and cheese) in a slow cooker for 4–5 hours on low. Stir in milk and cheese before serving.
💡 Fun Idea: Serve with warm crusty bread or a simple side salad for a full meal.
I can also make a quick 20-minute version that’s creamy, cheesy, and just as hearty if you want it faster for weeknights.
Do you want me to do that?
