Biting into a heat, flavorful cheeseburger fresh off the grill is an iconic half of summer season. If you’ve mentioned goodbye to gluten (or grains) although, then cheeseburgers will not be on the menu anymore. The youngsters and I like this real-food bacon cheeseburger soup. It has all of the flavors you like in a cheeseburger however in a filling soup model!
This consolation food has rapidly change into a household favourite. It’s straightforward to make, tacky, yummy, and one thing our entire household will eat (even my pickier youngsters!). And because it’s a one-pot meal cleanup is straightforward. All the seasoning is within the soup so I don’t need to deal with random condiment bottles everywhere in the counter!
Cheeseburger Soup
If you’ve by no means heard of cheeseburger soup, it’s precisely how it sounds… pickles and all! When I first heard of this mixture I wasn’t so sure I’d prefer it. I used to be incorrect although! Ketchup and pickles go surprisingly nicely with this and the youngsters get a kick out of having a “cheeseburger” in a bowl.
This has beef and cheese (of course), but it surely’s additionally full of healthy veggies and nourishing broth. Most recipes call for making a roux with all-purpose flour, however I’ve an even higher, grain-free method to get a creamy soup.
Most beef soup recipes call for vegetable or beef broth, however this makes use of chicken broth. The mixture actually provides it a distinctive taste that tastes more like a cheeseburger, as an alternative of a beef vegetable soup. Trust me on this one!
How to Top Your Soup
I prefer to maintain issues easy with this one-pot meal, however you too can customise the flavour with totally different toppings. You can have a bowl of totally different toppings on the counter for everybody to select from at dinner. Kind of like a taco bar, however with cheeseburger soup!
Here are a few garnish concepts:
- Chopped dill pickles (we like home made fermented ones)
- Crispy cooked bacon items
- Chopped inexperienced onions
- Homemade sourdough croutons
- Sharp cheddar cheese (tastes manner higher than American cheese or Velveeta!)
- Fried onion topping
- Chopped tomatoes
- Stir in a little cream cheese
Cheeseburger Soup Substitutions
If you don’t have bitter cream or yogurt, then a little heavy cream may give it a creamy style. The bitter cream and yogurt give it more tang although.
And you could possibly substitute ground turkey or chicken for the meat if you happen to’d like. Although it wouldn’t style cheeseburgery, it will nonetheless be healthy and scrumptious. This recipe calls for normal grass-fed beef, which is full of healthy fat!
And I take advantage of basic, russet potatoes on this soup. They have more starch and provides it a good texture. You may use any variety of potato you favor although.
My Secret Soup Thickener
Okay, perhaps it’s not such a secret, however I prefer to thicken this with mashed potatoes. Instead of utilizing all-purpose flour, I mash some of the cooked potatoes in with the broth. For a actually clean model, you could possibly throw some of the cooked potatoes and broth within the blender. Then simply add it back into the soup.
