Being able to have this cook all day so it’s ready for dinner while I get other things done and have the house smelling so tasty, is always a good thing for me. If you’re looking for more recipes like that, try this Slow Cooker Taco Soup or this Slow Cooker Sausage and Three Bean Soup.

Why This Hearty Soup Recipe Works

It has the flavor of a classic cheeseburger but in a warm, comforting soup.

The ingredients are simple and can already be found in most pantries making this an economical and convenient meal to make any night like this Chicken Corn Chowder.

Make a large batch of this creamy cheesy soup and freeze some of it to have on hand for another meal later on- perfect when in a pinch on busy days.

Ingredients for Crock Pot Cheeseburger Soup

• Protein: You need bacon and lean ground beef. Ground beef could be swapped for ground turkey and bacon could be swapped for turkey bacon.
• Vegetables: Diced onion, minced carrots, and diced celery.
• Potatoes: Use Russet potatoes. They’re thick and starchy and hold up well when cooked for a longer period of time. They also absorb flavors easily, making them ideal for a good soup recipe. 
• Chicken stock: I suggest a low-sodium version if possible.
• Herbs and spices: Dried basil, minced garlic cloves, salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley.
• Butter
• Flour: All-purpose flour is a thickening agent.
• Dairy: Milk, cream cheese and Velveeta cheese bring all the creamy cheesy goodness to this great recipe.

How to Make Slow Cooker Cheeseburger Soup

• Step 1: In a large saucepan, add the ground beef and cook until brown. 
• Step 2: Add the cooked ground beef, onions, carrots, celery, basil, and garlic to the slow cooker.

• Step 3: Just before the soup is finished, make a roux in a small saucepan. Melt the butter and then whisk in the flour. Let it cook and then whisk in the milk, cream, salt, and pepper before you let it simmer until it’s nice and thick.
• Step 4: Carefully add the roux from the saucepan to the crockpot with the Velvetta cheese cubes. Stir and let the cheese melt. Serve the Slow Cooker Bacon Cheeseburger Soup with crispy bacon pieces, diced onion, and garlic as garnish. 

Recipe Tips

• Always drain excess grease from the ground beef and bacon when you’re finished cooking them before adding them to your soup. 
• Other garnishes that would go well with this delicious soup recipe are sour cream, dill pickles, diced green onions, or sharp cheddar cheese. 
• Serve this hamburger soup with some crusty bread for the perfect soup on a cold winter day.
• When chopping potatoes and other veggies, make them a consistent size and not too large of chunks so they all cook uniformly.
