Homemade Cheeseburger Macaroni Soup
A cozy and cheesy bowl of soup that tastes just like your favorite burger in pasta form.
recipesbynani.comThis Cheeseburger Macaroni Soup is a family favorite around here because it combines everything we love about a classic cheeseburger with the comfort of a warm bowl of soup. It is thick, creamy, and filling enough to keep everyone happy at the dinner table.
My secret for the best flavor is to make sure you brown your ground beef well before adding the liquids. If you have any leftovers, the pasta will soak up the broth overnight, so just add a splash of water or milk when you reheat it to bring back that perfect texture.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup water

- 5

Season with salt and pepper to your liking before serving.
💡 Tips
Serve this soup with a side of crusty bread or garlic toast for dipping. If you want to keep the leftovers for later, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Add a little extra broth when warming it up to reach your preferred consistency.
