A classic bacon cheeseburger meets soupthats right, soup!
The soup is cheesy, beefy, and completely soul-warming.
This soup has beef and cheese in it along with onions, celery, and potatoes.

It can be on the dinner table in about 45 minutesvery doable on a weeknight.
While it isnt difficult, you cant just toss everything in a pot and hope for the best!
However, dont just throw everything in the slow cooker and hope for the best.
Simply Recipes / Nick Evans
Set the slow cooker on low heat and cook it for five to six hours.
Stir in the cheeses at the very end.
Serve with Toppings
Jazz up the soup with some colorful toppings.

I like to reserve some crispy bacon for garnish along with chopped scallions and extra cheddar cheese.
Storage Instructions
Store leftovers in the fridge up to four days.
This soup will congeal when it chills.
Simply Recipes / Nick Evans
Reheat it in a pot over low heat with a splash of water.
Do not microwave itthe dairy will break and the soup will get grainy.
While some people say you cant freeze dairy-based soups, this one actually freezes okay.
Simply Recipes / Nick Evans
That way you dont need to reheat leftovers again and again.
Ground Beef in Soups are Yum!
Transfer about half of the bacon into a small bowl.
Simply Recipes / Nick Evans
It will be used as a topping for the soup.
Turn the heat up to medium.
Add the ground beef into the pot with the cooked bacon and brown it in the bacon grease.
Simply Recipes / Nick Evans
Stir it frequently so it doesnt burn.
Add the potatoes, onions, celery, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often until the vegetables soften.
Simply Recipes / Nick Evans
Its okay if the potatoes arent cooked all the way through.
Stir in the flour and cook it for 1 minute.
Slowly add the beef stock and milk, stirring constantly.
Simply Recipes / Nick Evans
The soup should start to thicken slightly, but not as thick as a gravy.
Scoop one out with a spoon and try it!
Over very low heat, add the cream cheese and cheddar cheese.
Simply Recipes / Nick Evans
Stir gently until both cheeses melt into the soup.
Dont bring the soup to a boil once the cheeses are added.
They will break and youll end up with a grainy soup.
