-- ADVERTISEMENT --

Looking for a comforting, hearty meal that’s easy to make? This Slow Cooker Hamburger Potato Soup is the perfect choice! With its creamy texture, cheesy goodness, and robust flavor, it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef
1 small sweet onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
12 ounces frozen peas and carrots (optional)
10.5 ounce can cheddar cheese soup
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
8 ounces Velveeta, cubed (optional)

Instructions:

1️⃣ Brown the Beef:

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is fully browned and the onion is softened, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

2️⃣ Add Garlic:

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. If using jarred garlic, skip this step and add the garlic directly to the slow cooker.

3️⃣ Assemble the Soup:

Transfer the beef mixture to the bottom of an 8-quart slow cooker. Add the chicken broth, diced potatoes, frozen peas and carrots (if using), cheddar cheese soup, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

4️⃣ Cook:

Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

5️⃣ Add Cream and Cheese:

About an hour before serving, stir in the heavy cream and Velveeta. Cover and let the Velveeta melt, then stir to combine.

6️⃣ Serve:

Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy!

Notes:

Substitutions: Feel free to omit the frozen peas and carrots or swap them out for other vegetables. You can replace Velveeta with freshly shredded cheddar cheese for a different flavor.
Low Sodium Tip: Using low sodium chicken broth helps keep the sodium levels in check, especially since the cheddar soup and Velveeta add some salt.
Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. This soup can be frozen for up to 3 months.
