A hearty and comforting cheeseburger-flavored potato soup served in hollowed-out bread bowls, perfect for tailgates and cozy nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 3 medium russet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs), peeled and diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%, dairy-free milk works too)
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese (sharp cheddar recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup bacon bits (optional)
  • 2 stalks green onions, sliced thin
  • 4 medium-sized sourdough or round bread loaves, hollowed

Instructions

  1. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking into small pieces until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Add chopped onion to the beef and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add diced russet potatoes and pour in beef broth. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  4. Stir in yellow mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  5. Lower heat to medium-low. Slowly stir in milk, then gradually add shredded cheddar cheese. Stir continuously until cheese melts and soup is creamy. Avoid boiling after adding cheese.
  6. While soup simmers, cut open tops of bread loaves and hollow out centers, leaving about a 1-inch wall to hold soup. Reserve bread chunks for dipping.
  7. If using, sprinkle bacon bits and chopped green onions into the soup. Ladle hot soup into prepared bread bowls and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not rush browning the beef to develop flavor. Use russet potatoes for best texture. Add cheese slowly over low heat to avoid curdling. Prepare bread bowls just before serving to prevent sogginess. Soup thickens overnight and tastes better the next day. Adjust thickness by adding broth or milk as needed.
