A hearty and comforting soup combining the flavors of a cheeseburger with creamy potatoes.
In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned.
Breaking the beef into small pieces ensures even cooking and better texture.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened.
Cooking the onion with the beef allows the flavors to meld together.
In a soup pot, combine the milk and shredded cheese over medium heat, stirring until the cheese is melted.
Stir constantly to prevent the cheese from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Add the cooked beef, onion, and diced potatoes to the cheese sauce.
Ensure the potatoes are evenly distributed in the soup for consistent cooking.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
Cover the pot partially to retain heat while allowing some steam to escape.
Season the soup with ground black pepper to taste.
Taste the soup before seasoning to adjust the pepper to your preference.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
Serve with a side of crusty bread for a complete meal.
