Instructions

FIRST STEP: COOK THE GROUND BEEF

Brown the Beef: In a large soup pot, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula, until it’s fully browned and cooked through. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if needed.
Add the Onions and Garlic: Add the chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot with the beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions become soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.

SECOND STEP: ADD THE LIQUID BASE

Add the Beef Broth: Pour the beef broth into the pot with the beef mixture. Stir to combine and bring the broth to a simmer over medium heat.
Add the Potatoes and Mustard: Add the diced potatoes, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce to the pot. Stir to combine. Allow the soup to simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.

THIRD STEP: MAKE IT CREAMY

Stir in the Heavy Cream: Once the potatoes are soft, reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. This will add a rich, creamy texture to the soup, making it smooth and indulgent.
Season the Soup: Add the salt and pepper to the soup, adjusting the seasoning to taste. Stir to combine and let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

FOURTH STEP: ADD THE CHEESE

Melt the Cheese: Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the soup in batches, stirring constantly until it’s completely melted and incorporated into the soup. The cheese should give the soup a beautiful creamy texture and a rich cheeseburger flavor.
Final Taste Check: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add a little more salt, pepper, or mustard depending on your preference.

FINAL STEP: SERVE AND GARNISH

Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with your favorite cheeseburger toppings, such as sliced pickles and chopped fresh parsley. For a true cheeseburger experience, serve with warm Halal hamburger buns on the side, or add croutons made from Halal bread.
Enjoy: Serve hot and enjoy the comforting, cheesy goodness of this Easy Cheeseburger Soup.
