Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 1 pound of ground beef
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup milk
• Salt and pepper to taste

You will also need a large pot and an immersion blender. Ground beef gives the soup its ‘cheeseburger’ flavor while the cheddar cheese adds creaminess and that mouthwatering cheesy necessity. In case you’re wondering, you can substitute the ground beef with turkey or chicken and the milk with a non-dairy milk if needed.

How To Make Chunky Cheeseburger Soup

1. First off, brown your ground beef in the large pot over medium heat. Once it���s nicely browned, remove it with a slotted spoon, and set it aside.
2. In the same pot, add the diced onion and carrots. Cook them until they start to soften. This will take about 5 minutes.
3. Next, add in the minced garlic and cook for another minute or two, just until you can smell the garlic.
