Variations And Substitutions
This Cheeseburger Soup recipe is delicious as it is, but there are some easy variations you can make to fit to your tastes and dietary needs. Don’t omit the lettuce, though. I know it sounds weird but it works so well!
If you don’t have creole mustard, you can use grainy or dijon in its place.You can use any ground meat you prefer, bison, lamb and veal all work well. Make it vegan by using veggie crumbles and a vegetable stock.
How Long Does It Keep?
When it comes to meal prep and make ahead meals, soup is a perfect choice! Whenever I make a soup, I always make a double batch to grab for easy meals at a later date. This cheeseburger soup is no different! Once you have made the soup, let it cool completely and then transfer it to an air-tight container. It will then last in the fridge for about four days, or you can freeze it for up to a month. Defrost the soup in the fridge overnight and simply reheat it on the stovetop.
Chef’s Tips
If you do not have a high-speed blender, soak cashews in hot water for at least 2 hours before cooking. Drain and combine with water and nutritional yeast in a regular blender, as directed in the recipe instructions. Proceed with recipe as written.Be sure to brown the ground meat well, it should be deep brown in color. This helps to enhance the flavor of the finished soup.Use a heavy bottomed pan to make the soup in. They distribute the heat more evenly so you don’t get hotspots which can lead to burning.
