Waxy potatoes (like red potatoes) hold their shape better than starchy potatoes (like russet potatoes). However, starchy varieties will absorb more flavor and help to thicken the creamy liquid. All-purpose potatoes (like Yukon gold potatoes) offer the best of both worlds. Their skins are very thin, so you can leave them unpeeled for a rustic look.<\/p>\n<h3>What do you serve with cheeseburger soup?<\/h3>\n<p>The beauty of this soup is in its versatility, so you can add any of your favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/burger-toppings\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/burger-toppings\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">burger toppings<\/a>.

Mainly because it sounded so good, I had nothing planned for the morning or for dinner tonight, and I had all the ingredients on hand.  I used and measured all the ingredients called for because I'm cooking for two and don't have a lot of freezer space.  2 quarts is plenty.  I did use beef bone broth and added a cup of chopped parsnips and 2 teaspoons of chopped garlic.  It made exactly two quarts of what I would call a chowder.  I had a small cup for lunch and it was absolutely the bees knees.  So good!  You don't need a lot of seasoning, so go easy on the salt.  I think I used about half a teaspoon.  Taste test to make sure after you add the Hamburg and beef broth.  <\/p><p><\/p><p>I did laugh when I saw the time this was supposed to take set at 55 minutes.  I was in the kitchen assembling and measuring the ingredients, and then cooking, for 2 hours and 15 minutes.  Not counting the time it took me to clean up the mess and put everything away.  I'm sure there are shortcuts that could be taken, perhaps using a food processor or maybe frozen hash brown potatoes, but I did this the old fashioned way of using everything fresh, and peeling, chopping, and separating things into bowls in the order called for.  I'll serve this tonight with a tossed salad, dinner rolls, and fruit.

I cooked the carrots, celery, onion, parsley and basil first, until everything was softened.  Then I threw in the ground beef and browned it right in the pan with the mirepoix.  I went with the heavier end of the Velveeta, as I was trying to use up the reminder of a package and I think it was actually too cheese-y.

I mixed in the diced raw potatoes and the cooked ground beef and then poured in the chicken broth.  It smelled so good while it was cooking!!  Once the potatoes were cooked through, I added in the milk and I used shredded sharp cheddar instead of Velveeta, it is what I had on hand.  I also left out the basil and the sour cream and I am glad I did - my whole family loved this and I will definitely be making it again!
