Spicy Bacon Cheeseburger Soup
I cannot even begin to tell you how good this soup is. This is the kind of soup that just feels good. Like an old blanket, full of comfort and warms the soul.
It also tastes exactly like a cheeseburger. A bacon cheeseburger!
One of my favorite comfort foods!
I’m sure you’ve had some kind of cheeseburger soup before. Have you had one that can pretty much guarantee you’ll be thinking of a juicy cheeseburger while you’re eating it? A big fat juicy Bacon Cheeseburger with the works? A soup! People, this is a soup! But you might not know it while you’re eating it. Okay perhaps you will since you don’t eat Cheeseburgers with a spoon, but other than that I’m pretty sure you’ll know what I’m talking about when you take your first taste.
This is probably my teenagers favorite soup. Yep, all five of them. We make it a lot during the winter months because it’s so easy and it can sit and simmer on the stove for as long as I need it to. I’m also pretty sure this could be made in a crockpot. I tend to just go for the stovetop method because it helps warm the kitchen anyway.
It’s funny how a few months back I would have done anything to keep my kitchen as cool as possible. Now I am looking for any reason to warm it up with a big old pot of soup on the stove.
Warm You Up Spicy Bacon Cheeseburger Soup

Warm You Up Spicy Bacon Cheeseburger Soup
Ingredients
- 1 package of bacon cut into ½ inch pieces
- 2 pounds of ground turkey or beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 6 cups of chicken broth
- ¼ cup chopped jalapeno, if you want it spicy
- 2 cans of cheddar cheese soup, I used Campbells
- 3 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup dill pickle relish
- 1 can of French Fried Onions for garnish, Plus it tastes amazing in the soup!
- 1 16 ounce bag of medium egg noodles, large or wide would work too
Instructions
- In a large pot cook up the cut bacon, until almost crisp. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels to remove the grease.
- Leave the bacon grease in the bottom of the pot and add the beef or turkey, the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the meat is no longer pink and the onion is soft and tender.
- Drain the grease out.
- In the large pot with the meat, add the chicken broth, chopped jalapenos, cheese soups and the Worcestershire sauce, stirring well.
- Cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until hot.
- In a separate pot, boil the noodles as directed on the package. Drain and then add them to the meat mixture.
- Add the dill pickle relish and the bacon back in. Mix it in good.
- Serve in bowls topped some french fried onions. Yum!!
So good!

I can see why this is a teenager´s dream soup. Sounds so yummy! Happy Sunday Nicole!
Nicole Humphrey Cook
Thanks Paula – total favorite! Have a great Sunday!!
veronica gantley
Who would have thought of taking cheeseburgers and making them into a soup. Yum!
Nicole Humphrey Cook
haha well, apparently us but then again I’ve seen cheeseburger soup recipes anywhere – this one just tastes the most like a cheeseburger. 🙂 Enjoy it!!
Patti
Can’t wait to try this! Yum!
Nicole Humphrey Cook
So good Patti! THanks!
Renee
Would you believe I have not had a cheeseburger soup? I’m wanting to have it now for sure. I’m sure my husband would love it because he could eat cheeseburgers every day and he also loves soup.
Nicole Humphrey Cook
Renee, haha I am a bit of a Cheeseburger lover myself, I think that’s why we love this soup so much. 🙂 You need to try it at least once. Though I am pretty sure you will want to make it again.
Lane @ Supper for a Steal
I have never had cheeseburger soup. This one looks great. Love the jalapeno for spice!
Nicole Humphrey Cook
Oh the jalapeno is amazing, we add quite a lot. LOL More than what I have listed but most people (including a few of my teens) don’t like as much spice as we do. Definitely delicious. Thanks Lane!
Amy Kim (@kimchi_mom)
I couldn’t wait to see the recipe for this soup! I could use a bowlful of this ASAP. I’m making this as soon as we get our power back and get our kitchen restocked!
Nicole Humphrey Cook
Amy it is so ridiculously delicious – enjoy and I hope your power comes on soon 🙁
Bobbi's Kozy Kitchen
What a fantastic idea for a soup!! Love it. I am going to be making it for sure 🙂
Nicole Humphrey Cook
So good Bobbi, enjoy it!
Heather @girlichef
I don’t doubt that this is a favorite with the teens…and I’m guessing my whole family would love it, as well. Our favorite pizza, afterall, is Bacon Cheeseburger, so… YUM!
Nicole Humphrey Cook
That’s OUR favorite pizza! hahaa How can you pass up a bacon cheeseburger?
Jen @JuanitasCocina
I wish we were neighbors. I’d weigh a million pounds and so would you, but life would be fabulous.
Nicole Humphrey Cook
I wish we were neighbors too. At least we could grow fat and old together in the kitchen. haha
Lyn @LovelyPantry
Excuse me, did you say Bacon Cheeseburger Soup???? Count me IN! I can see why your kids love it! I hear you about warming up the kitchen with a pot on the stove – I do the same 🙂
Nicole Humphrey Cook
I did, I did. It is simply delicious! Stay warm Lyn!
Tara
I love the option of the turkey in there. Wow, would that be a great soup!!
Nicole Humphrey Cook
Definitely!
Soni
Wow, I’m in love with this soup with all those spicy flavors!!!Love the addition of turkey and did you say bacon?I’m totally in 🙂
Nicole Humphrey Cook
Everything is better with bacon, you know. 😉
Chung-Ah | Damn Delicious
I’m sure there’s nothing more comforting than a bacon cheeseburger in soup form!
Nicole Humphrey Cook
There definitely is not. 🙂
Megan @IRun4Wine
I have never had bacon cheeseburger soup and sit here wondering why this is. I love soup and cheeseburgers are my weakness! Thank you for sharing!
Nicole Humphrey Cook
Wish I could make you some Megan!
Chris Baccus
So many different flavors happening here and nice to see the use of Worcestershire sauce.
Nicole Humphrey Cook
I love mass flavor combinations – no doubt!
Bea
I have actually never had cheeseburger soup – it sounds very good.
Nicole Humphrey Cook
It is amazing. If it’s on your diet, you really need to try it. So addicting!
Sarah
I am so happy to hear about this soup. I am on a low carb diet and I need some cheeseburger. I can have this instead. Perfect! Thanks for sharing.
Nicole Humphrey Cook
haha that’s awesome. It’s the drinkable non-carby Bacon Cheeseburger. Don’t add crusty bread 😉
Susan
This looks like such a fun soup! I love bacon cheeseburgers, so putting it in soup is awesome.
Nicole Humphrey Cook
It really is a fun soup. Hope you’ll try it Susan!
Martin D. Redmond
Wowzer! Many this looks scrumptuous! Great recipe!
Nicole Humphrey Cook
It really is wonderful Martin, and your wine pairing was spot on. Delicious!
Erin @ Dinners, Dishes and Desserts
This soup sure looks comforting! Isn’t it crazy how quick the weather changes. Now I leave my oven open as soon as I take something out, so it can heat up the house!
Nicole Humphrey Cook
We do the same thing Erin, flip that baby open and empty the heat we were trying to keep shoved in there only a few months ago. haha This soup is wonderful. 🙂
Cindys Recipes and Writings
Cheeseburger soup is a great all in one meal!
Nicole Humphrey Cook
It is! We sometimes leave the noodles out and serve it with crusty bread so it’s a little heartier. Delicious!!
Laura Hunter
Wow a soup that tastes like a bacon cheeseburger? That sounds amazing, I need to try this.
Nicole Humphrey Cook
Yes, yes you do. Plus I’m pretty certain the calories are about halved. 😉
Faye Leong
Love everything in this soup and will make it soon with chicken meat to substitute turkey or beef.
Nicole Humphrey Cook
Chicken would work wonderfully too – we did that. Tastes like a bacon chicken club of sorts. Delicious!
Tom @ Waegook Tom
You are a GENIUS. This sounds ridiculously amazing. Some of these ingredients are out of my reach here in Korea (the cheddar cheese soup and the chicken broth) but ohmygod I’m saving this for when I go back to the UK and I’m able to make a more similar version.
I’m also craving a bacon cheeseburger now, dammit…
