Instructions
- Brown the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef. Drain any excess grease.
- Assemble the Base: Add the ground beef, potatoes, onion, and carrots to a 6-quart crockpot.
- Add the Liquids and Seasonings: Pour the beef broth and cream of celery soup over the ingredients. Add the smoked paprika, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything to combine.
- Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6 hours (or high for 3 hours) until the vegetables are tender.
- Incorporate the Cheese: Add the shredded cheddar, pepper jack, and cream cheese to the crockpot. Stir to combine. Cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes on low until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is creamy.
- Optional Additions: Stir in sour cream at the end for added richness.
- Serve and Garnish: Ladle into bowls and top with your favorite burger-inspired toppings like bacon crumbles, pickle slices, or a drizzle of mustard and ketchup.
Notes
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. This soup reheats beautifully on the stovetop or in the microwave.
