Crockpot Cheeseburger Soup
Soup, Soup, Soup! We’ve got soup on the brain, can you tell? Most of you can truly feel the need for a nice, warm bowl of scrumptious soup. Us Arizona folks are still baking in the 100 degree weather, but I’m a believer that it’s never too hot for a good soup. And so… I’m happy to present today’s Tried and True recipe for Cheeseburger Soup (and yes, it’s different from our Hamburger Soup). This has been my favorite soup recipe we’ve tried so far this year! Its creamy, cheesy, and just simple enough to be YOUR new favorite too.

Best of all, it’s made in the SLOW COOKER (easy peasy)! Crockpot soup recipes are by far my favorite kind of soup recipe because, honestly, who likes standing over the kitchen stove watching over soup as it cooks? Not me! Just prep the ingredients, throw them in the crockpot, and after a few hours, you’ll have this dreamy finished product filled with hamburger meat, carrots, potatoes, Velveeta cheese and so many delicious spices! This Cheeseburger soup recipe has so much flavor and is so hearty, you’re bound to love it!
How to Make Cheeseburger Soup
We love just how simple this cheeseburger soup is. To make it, begin by peeling and chopping your veggies and then adding them to a crockpot with the broth. Cook on high for 3-4 hours, or until tender.
Meanwhile, over the stove, melt 6 TB of butter in a skillet, then add that and the 2 cans of evaporated milk into your crockpot. Cook your hamburger in the skillet with another 2 TB of butter and add onion flakes (or onion powder). Once cooked, add to your crockpot along with seasonings and turn on low for at least an hour. Add Velveeta 30 minutes before serving.
Definitely a delicious and easy cheeseburger soup!
And did I forget to mention it’s topped with bacon?! Perfect for you bacon lovers! I will say, my hubby was surprised there were carrots in the soup since you really don’t put carrots on cheeseburgers, but somehow they worked out perfectly in the recipe! I hope you’ll agree. 😉
Can you Make this Soup on the Stove?
Yes, indeed. Peel and chop your veggies and then add them to a pot of simmering broth for 20 minutes. Add 6 TB butter and evaporated milk and let simmer for an additional 10 minutes. While that is simmering, cook your hamburger meat in 2 additional TB of butter along with onions/onion flakes/onion powder. Once the meat is no longer pink, add the meat and the seasonings to the broth pot and simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Add Velveeta cheese and simmer an additional 10-15 minutes.
Can you use Other Cheeses instead of Velveeta Cheese?
Yes. The Velveeta does make it extra cheese and creamy, but other cheeses like cheddar cheese also work well.

Yum – thank you!
You’re welcome, Liz!! XO
I should have this made for my daughter when she gets home because it felt like 2 degrees out today! October 1st hits and our temperatures drop drastically!
I’m jealous!! It’s still really hot here in Houston. 😉
This soup looks amazing! I love all the flavor you packed into one bowl…yum!
Thank you!! 😀
Oooooo… a cheeseburger in soup form?? Perfect for fall! And gimme ALL the bacon. 😉
I’m right there with you!! Any soup is better with bacon. 😉
I agree! It’s never too hot for soup!
YES!! 😀 Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
I think I will make this tomorrow! Have you ever tried shredded cheddar cheese instead of Velveeta?
I haven’t, personally, but I think that’s what I do if I didn’t have Velveeta on hand. Let me know how it goes. 😉
Shredded cheddar worked out great! I also added some steak seasoning. Yummy! Thanks. ????
Soup is a wonderful thing to have on the brain, I am currently shivering so it this sounds utterly perfect to me.
what is onedra?
It looks like the step for adding the flour is missing. Should it be added into the 6T melted butter to make a roux?
This Cheeseburger soup is the perfect recipe for a cold day. The food was great.
I totally agree!! Thank you so much for letting me know!
So perfect timing for bowl of comfort food ! Thank you !
This is total comfort food!! Thank you so much!
I usually love all of your recipes, but this one doesn’t sound like it would taste much like a cheeseburger, and is not as easy as a crock pot recipe should be. I like them when you can put everything in there at once and not mess with the stove 🙂
When do you use the flour? do you add the evaporated milk right away or after the veggies have cooked for the 3-4 hours?
Add the flour in step 3 with the seasonings & the milk goes in after the 3-4 hours. Hope this helps!
I needed an easy yummy soup forthis snowy day and this was perfect!!
Yay!! I am so glad!! Thank you 🙂
Does this warm up well the next day? I am trying this for soup day at work and want to make it the night before 🙂 Thanks
Yes, it does 🙂 Enjoy!!
