This was a great starting point for a good CB soup. I omitted the potatoes. Ran the veggies through a food processor after they cooked down. Added more milk and some heavy cream. Used half American cheese and half Velveeta. To make it taste more like a liquid cheese burger I added some Montreal Steak seasoning, a little ketchup, and a little yellow mustard. I diced up a few roma tomatoes and a head of lettuce that I tossed in last. Fantastic!

The key to this recipe is adding your own little touch, to all of you that are considering making this-- KEEP THAT IN MIND! All but one or two of the other reviewers mentioned something about changing it; as well as myself. I didn't have any Velveeta. I used knockoff "Salsa con queso" omitting both kinds of peppers. I didn't bother shredding the carrots, just sliced them. I followed the directions overall... but I did end up throwing Italian Seasoning in it because I like the "spiced" look and taste. I also splashed Frank's RedHot on there in place of cayenne. Wonderful!!!! I will continue to make this because it is super easy, super delish, and a super leftover!!! I will change this recipe everytime I make it and I am positive that it will be fantastic everytime. Way to go Becky!!

I am a fairly new cook and most of the meals I cook are average at best. And my husband and I have very different taste. This meals was such a hit that he asked for it for his birthday meal. I prefer it with half a jalapeno, but my husband and daughter enjoy it with the whole pepper. We also like a little more cheese.

Wow too fast and too easy to be this good, I used 2 jalepenos, 1/4 cup mushrooms finely chopped, and shredded potatoes, baked a fresh loaf of bread and had a great lunch for the family. I will surely continue to play with this recipe.

This soup is delicious!!! I was a little nervous about adding the jalapeno and bell pepper, but it was perfect and not too hot! I even added a small jar of green chilies. I used grated sharp cheddar just because I couldn't find american in the grocery (believe it or not). Delicious!!

This recipe is GREAT! The only thing I did different was fried bacon in a skillet, added the onion and bell pepper, then browned the hamburger in the bacon fat. I crumbled the bacon and chopped green onions to add to your bowl. It was like bacon cheeseburger soup! Definitely a hit at my house. Will make it regularly:-) It's my new favorite soup!

Delish! I added an extra onion, and thru all of the veggies into my processor so that they had a smoother consistancy. Then,I also added a bit more water and skim because I like my consistancy a bit more fluid...Also added 1/4 ketchup for a little sweet, and it is fantastic! ********UPDATE******** We have now made this 2-3 more times, and love it everytime. Tonite I made a double batch so we will have some for lunches...I changed up the ketchup to use a can of campbells tomato soup instead, it is a little healthier than ketchup and a can is about right for the double batch. Also, we add a little cumin to the meat , I just love it with the cheesey soup!

Nice, different kind of soup. I think kids would really like this. I did used beef broth (2 cans) and a can of diced tomatoes as hubby likes really brothy soups. I used a shredded cheddar-American cheese melt blend which worked great. Going into my "soup" file!

I would note that if the potatoes are too soft before adding the milk, (as mine were), mix the 1/4-1/2 cup milk as directed with the flour, then into the remainder of the milk, and thicken in a separate saucepan on the stove to make a white sauce. Then add to the beef and potatoes mixture. I made this with natural cheese, which I know does not taste as good :) but it worked. Incredible garnish or table offerings are chopped tomato, chopped onion, and dill pickle relish... yummy, and looks great too!

Great recipe, and great for inspiring. I think next time I would like to add more potatoes, and perhaps about 8 oz of the canned tomatoes and chiles. Give it more of a New Mexican taste. I guess it might be less of a cheeseburger soup then, and more of a nacho soup.. but then, the spices already in it make me think that. Otherwise, one thing I'd recommend is maybe using one or two more cups of potato. Then again, I like a chunky soup. Oh, and I used 8 oz of fancy grated sharp cheddar, instead of american. Mmm. (cheaper than velveeta.)

This was a delicious creamy soup. I had it last night and I am having it again tonight. Soup is my one of my favorite go to meals in the winter. So I am always on the lookout for a good soup recipe. This was like a cheeseburger in a bowl. The only things I changed was, I added some Velveeta shells and cheddar that I had leftover from the night before. This thickened it up a bit, so I had to add a can of evaporated milk to thin it out. This made it even richer. I will definately make this again.
