Making Cheeseburger Soup is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious and hearty meal:
1. Brown the Beef: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess grease.
2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
3. Add Broth and Potatoes: Pour in the beef broth and add diced potatoes. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.
4. Simmer: Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
5. Stir in Cheese and Milk: Once the potatoes are ready, reduce the heat to low. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and milk or heavy cream until the cheese melts and the soup is creamy.
6. Season: Add Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. Adjust flavors as needed.
7. Serve: Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
