Cheesy Hamburger Potato Soup is a hearty, one-pot comfort meal loaded with ground beef, tender potatoes, sweet corn, and plenty of melted cheddar in a creamy broth. It’s a cozy, family-friendly soup that tastes like a cross between a cheeseburger and classic potato soup—perfect for chilly nights and easy weeknight dinners.
Why you’ll love this soup
This soup follows the same pattern as popular cheeseburger and hamburger potato soups: brown beef with aromatics, simmer potatoes in broth until tender, then stir in milk or cream and cheese to make it rich and velvety. It uses simple ingredients you likely have on hand, comes together in about 45 minutes, and delivers a satisfying, stick-to-your-ribs bowlful without needing Velveeta or complicated steps.
The recipe is flexible, too—swap broths, adjust creaminess, add veggies or bacon, and tweak seasonings to match your taste, just like many cheeseburger soup variations suggest.
