Instructions

- Return the cooked ground beef to the pot and mix. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Tip: For a creamier texture, mash a few of the potatoes in the soup before adding the cheese. Variation: Add a cup of frozen peas or corn for extra flavor and color in your cheesy hamburger potato soup.
