Equipment

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Brown ground beef with diced onion in a large skillet, drain excess grease, then stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  2. Transfer the beef mixture to a 6-quart crockpot, then add beef broth, diced potatoes, carrots, celery, undrained diced tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Cover the crockpot and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours, until the vegetables are tender.
Finishing Touches
  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese and milk until smooth.
  2. Once vegetables are tender, stir the cream cheese mixture into the crockpot until fully combined and creamy.
  3. Gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and the soup is smooth. Serve hot.

Notes

For a thicker soup, you can mash some of the cooked potatoes against the side of the crockpot before adding the cheese. Garnish with your favorite cheeseburger toppings like pickles, bacon bits, or a dollop of sour cream.
