Ingredients

Detailed quantities are on the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

1. Ground beef : I used 80% lean and of course you can use any grade of ground beef you prefer
2. Carrot
3. Potatoes: Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold. Russet potatoes will give the soup a fluffier texture, while Yukon Golds will make it creamier.
4. Onion: Yellow onion or shallots will get the job done
5. Garlic: minced garlic preferably
6. Beef broth: This is what I used but you can also use vegetable broth or beef / vegetable stock, whatever you have on hand.
7. Cheese: I had white cheddar cheese on hand, so you know the drill right?
8. Peas: frozen peas or canned work just fine bestie.
9. Olive oil
10. Seasoning: I seasoned with the following spices, sauce, and herbs (oregano, garlic powder, mixed dried herbs, Worcestershire sauce, a pinch of salt and pepper to taste).

How to make creamy potato hamburger soup

1. Dice both onion and carrot then sauté them with olive oil in a deep saucepan or pot for 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 2 more minutes.

2. Add ground beef mince and season with spices then cook for 5 to 10 minutes or just until it is browned. Remove from the pot and set it aside.

3. In the same pot add the peeled and cubed potatoes with 4 cups of beef broth. Cook on medium-high heat for 10 minutes.

4. Add green peas and cook for 5 more minutes.

5. Bring back the ground beef into the pot and let that simmer on medium heat for 5 minutes just for the flavors to infuse.

6. Remove from heat then add white cheddar cheese and stir it thoroughly until it melts and blends with the soup.

7. Serve and Enjoy!

Tips and mistakes to avoid as a beginner cook

1. I hope you remember to break the meat into smaller pieces as soon as it hits the pan when you are browning your ground beef.
2. Don’t over crowd the pan and if there is any access fat that you don’t like, you can drain it.
3. If you decide to use store-bought broth like me, please do a taste test before you add seasoning that contains salt because broths are salty on their own unless you bought a low-sodium one.

How to store and reheat leftover potato soup

If you find yourself with leftovers of this potato hamburger soup (I doubt you will because it’s so delicious), here’s how to store and reheat it:

• Cool Down: Allow the soup to cool to room temperature before refrigerating it. Hot soup can raise the temperature inside your fridge, affecting the food safety of other items. I am pretty sure you don’t want that.
• Refrigerate: Once your potato soup has cooled down, it’s time to transfer it into an airtight container then in the fridge it goes. It should stay fresh for up to 3-4 days.
• Reheat: To reheat, gently warm the soup over low heat on the stovetop. Be sure to stir frequently to prevent sticking. Alternatively, you can use a microwave, but heat it in short intervals and stir in between to ensure even heating.
