Easy Cheeseburger Soup-can be ready in just 30 minutes!
When it comes to dinnertime, I want it fast and easy. With 3 teenagers, the time between school and dinner is prime time for the kids.
It’s when Mom’s taxi serve gets called in for duty. I don’t have the time (or the want) to spend a few hours making dinner. Dinner has to be efficient and still taste good.
I usually buy family packs of meat and chicken and just try to plan ahead. I’ll buy the 5 pack of chicken breasts, Use 3 the first night and then bake the other 2 for chicken salad or pot pie or whatever for another night.
I do the same with ground beef, that 2-3 pound family package is perfect to get 2 meals out of.
I’ll brown up all the beef then divide it, One night tacos, One night stroganoff, use it for spaghetti sauce. Or, I’ll use it for this soup. Having the ground beef already cooked and in the fridge, makes putting this soup together a snap.
And Fast. I can have this on the table in about 30 minutes. Just cut up a few veggies, toss them in your pot, add a few more ingredients, let it simmer. Serve with some good bread and you’ve got the perfect meal for a cold day!

Hi, love your recipes and will try the cheese burger soup, but I am from Perth Australia and don’t know what Velvetta Cheese is.??
Joan Hayes says
Veleeta is a soft processed cheese that melts easily. You could substitute a cheese sauce if you have that there.

Have you ever made this using “sweet” potatoes instead?
Sandy_of_WV says
Guess I don’t matter [being that I am not a blogger] 🙁
Have asked questions on couple of your recipes and no responses.
MADE this with regular potatoes using sausage instead of beef. It’s a KEEPER – Thx! 🙂
Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips says
Cheeseburger soup has been on my list ofnrecipesmto try. I bet even my hubby who doesn’t consider soup a meal, would be satisfied with this one. And the little guy devours anything with cheese.

Miranda Timpson says
Could I make this with regular cheddar cheese instead of the velveeta? If so, how would I substitute?
Dorothy Sykes-Tabal says
I tried this recipe the other night. I did not have any parsley, so I substituted basil. It turned out really good. This was super easy to make and ready in no time. This will definitely be a repeat in our house. Thanks!
bob cramer says
none of your recipes will print just says blank page also can use use other cheese instead of velveeta ? thanks
Joan Hayes says
You can use any cheese you want. Using Velveeta or Cheese Wiz gives the soup a creamy taste and blends well. Using all cheddar, or another unprocessed cheese will tend to separate and can also scorch easily so you’ll need to keep it stirred and watch it.

Husband says this is a keeper, I agree.
