Once you get the bacon and ground beef cooked the rest of the soup making process is fairly easy. You can peel the potatoes ahead of time and just leave them in some cold water in the refrigerator until you are ready to prepare the soup. You can leave peeled potatoes in water for about 24 hours in the refrigerator.

What type of Potatoes to Use for this Velveeta Cheeseburger Soup Recipe?

We like to use Russett potatoes for this soup recipe.  Russet potatoes are very mild in flavor and contain lots of fiber and iron. They are also easy to cook and make nice soft pieces of potatoes, just perfect for any soup recipe.

Why We LOVE Hamburger Soup

We love a hearty hamburger, potato and cheezy soup because it’s hearty and filling, perfect for a family meal.

How to Store and Reheat Leftover Soup

Simply store soup in an airtight container for about 4-5 days. Reheat servings in your microwave.  Keep in mind, starchy soups like this hamburger and potato soup do not freeze well.  Eat leftovers for lunch and dinner.
