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!

Renee
November 4, 2012 at 7:36 amWould 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
November 4, 2012 at 8:30 amRenee, 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
November 4, 2012 at 8:37 amI have never had cheeseburger soup. This one looks great. Love the jalapeno for spice!
Nicole Humphrey Cook
November 4, 2012 at 9:23 amOh 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)
November 4, 2012 at 10:17 amI 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
November 4, 2012 at 10:24 amAmy it is so ridiculously delicious – enjoy and I hope your power comes on soon 🙁

Jen @JuanitasCocina
November 4, 2012 at 12:33 pmI wish we were neighbors. I’d weigh a million pounds and so would you, but life would be fabulous.
Nicole Humphrey Cook
November 4, 2012 at 12:48 pmI wish we were neighbors too. At least we could grow fat and old together in the kitchen. haha
Lyn @LovelyPantry

Chung-Ah | Damn Delicious
November 4, 2012 at 6:30 pmI’m sure there’s nothing more comforting than a bacon cheeseburger in soup form!
Nicole Humphrey Cook
November 4, 2012 at 6:30 pmThere definitely is not. 🙂
Megan @IRun4Wine
November 4, 2012 at 8:20 pmI 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
November 4, 2012 at 8:25 pmWish I could make you some Megan!
Chris Baccus
November 4, 2012 at 9:34 pmSo many different flavors happening here and nice to see the use of Worcestershire sauce.

November 4, 2012 at 9:35 pmI love mass flavor combinations – no doubt!
Bea
November 5, 2012 at 12:13 amI have actually never had cheeseburger soup – it sounds very good.
Nicole Humphrey Cook
November 5, 2012 at 12:42 amIt is amazing. If it’s on your diet, you really need to try it. So addicting!
Sarah
November 5, 2012 at 2:58 pmI 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
November 5, 2012 at 2:59 pmhaha that’s awesome. It’s the drinkable non-carby Bacon Cheeseburger. Don’t add crusty bread 😉
Susan
November 5, 2012 at 4:21 pmThis looks like such a fun soup! I love bacon cheeseburgers, so putting it in soup is awesome.

Erin @ Dinners, Dishes and Desserts
November 7, 2012 at 2:47 pmThis 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
November 7, 2012 at 2:52 pmWe 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
November 7, 2012 at 10:37 pmCheeseburger soup is a great all in one meal!
Nicole Humphrey Cook
November 7, 2012 at 11:06 pmIt is! We sometimes leave the noodles out and serve it with crusty bread so it’s a little heartier. Delicious!!
Laura Hunter
November 8, 2012 at 10:15 amWow a soup that tastes like a bacon cheeseburger? That sounds amazing, I need to try this.
Nicole Humphrey Cook
November 8, 2012 at 10:20 amYes, yes you do. Plus I’m pretty certain the calories are about halved. 😉
Faye Leong
November 10, 2012 at 10:55 amLove everything in this soup and will make it soon with chicken meat to substitute turkey or beef.
Nicole Humphrey Cook
November 10, 2012 at 11:17 amChicken would work wonderfully too – we did that. Tastes like a bacon chicken club of sorts. Delicious!
Tom @ Waegook Tom
November 12, 2012 at 9:45 amYou 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…
