Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings

  • Diced pickles
  • Bacon bits
  • Chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Use a spoon to break it into small pieces as it cooks. Once cooked, carefully drain and remove excess grease from the pot.
  2. Sauté onions and garlic: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot with the beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add beef broth and simmer: Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer on medium heat. This will meld the flavors together and prepare the base for the soup.
  4. Incorporate cream cheeses and heavy cream: Stir in the cream cheese and heavy cream gradually, stirring constantly until the cream cheese fully melts and the soup becomes smooth and creamy.
  5. Add cheddar cheese: Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese while stirring continuously to ensure it melts evenly and blends into the soup without clumping.
  6. Season: Taste the soup and season with salt and black pepper according to your preferences.
  7. Serve with toppings: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with your favorite burger-inspired toppings such as diced pickles, crispy bacon bits, and chopped green onions for an extra flavor boost.

Notes

  • You can substitute the beef broth with homemade stock for richer flavor.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
  • Use full-fat dairy for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • The soup thickens as it cools; reheat gently and add a splash of broth or cream to adjust consistency.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
