Tips for the Perfect Soup:
- Don’t skip the roux! This is what gives the soup its signature creamy texture. Be patient and whisk constantly to avoid lumps.
- Use good quality cheddar cheese. The flavor of the cheese really shines through, so choose a variety you enjoy.
- Simmer, don’t boil! Once the cheese is added, reduce the heat to low and avoid boiling, as this can cause the cheese to separate.
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Can I use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef? Absolutely! You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
- Can I make this soup ahead of time? Yes, you can make this soup a day or two in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently on the stovetop.
- Can I freeze this soup? While you can freeze it, the texture may change slightly. It’s best enjoyed fresh.
- What toppings would you recommend? Crispy bacon, chopped pickles, a dollop of sour cream, or a sprinkle of chopped chives would all be delicious!
- Is this soup gluten-free? This recipe, as written, is not gluten-free due to the all-purpose flour. You can substitute a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend to make it gluten-free.
So, ditch the burger buns and grab a spoon! This Cheeseburger Soup is about to become your new favorite comfort food. Enjoy!
