Cheeseburger Soup

This Cheeseburger Soup is my favorite soup on the blog.

It is also very popular and gets rave reviews every single time.

I don’t think I have ever had a bad comment about this delicious soup.

But I do get a lot of comments asking me if it can be made in the slow cooker. I had to test it our for myself!

Me and my slow cooker are BFF’s.

Especially when it is busy around the holidays.

Who am I kidding. It is always busy.

That is why I love using my slow cooker year round.

It was so nice to just throw all of the veggies and potatoes in this soup right in the slow cooker.

Let it cook all day and have a delicious hearty cheeseburger soup for dinner.

This soup was just as incredible in the slow cooker.

And I love making it because I am reminded why this soup is so good!

All of the goodness of a cheeseburger is packed right inside this soup and it is incredible.

Whether you make it in the slow cooker or on the stovetop, you have to experience all of the goodness of this soup for yourself!

    Excellent recipe. ThankYou for sharing. Used Idahoan instant hash browns and hydrated them before adding to crockpot to cook with other veggies. Super easy comfort food.

    this was my first try at cheeseburger soup. This was the one recipe that I had all the ingredients on hand, to my happy surprise, mine can out better than was Zoup sells. I made mine with Velveta and added a can of petite dice tomatoes. Easiest part was having a $1 bag of Kroger from mirepoix onion, celery and carrots, so easy peasy tossed them in the power pressure cooker after browning the burger. Tossed everything else and set the cooker to slow cook for 4 hours. Amazing amazing.
