HAMBURGER POTATO SOUP – The Southern Lady Cooks

If you are looking for a hearty soup, this hamburger potato soup is the one to make!

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We love this Hamburger Potato Soup, it’s hearty, versatile, and delicious! Add our wonderful fried cornbread for a real treat. You can make this dish on top of the stove or in the crock pot. It would be perfect for tailgating or any cold-weather activity. This soup will keep for a few days and reheats really well.

SWAPS & ADDITIONS

You can swap out the hamburger for ground beef or Italian sausage. You could also add in green beans, okra or celery. Leave out the spinach if you like and you can easily switch up the spices.

⭐TIP

If you want a creamy cheese that actually melts, it’s best to shred your own from a block of cheese. It’s significantly better and works great in this recipe!
