Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups chicken or beef broth
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup diced potatoes
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup crumbled bacon (optional, for topping)
• Fresh lettuce, shredded (optional, for topping)
• Pickle slices (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Ground Beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Use a spoon to break the beef into crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
2. Add Onion and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot with the cooked beef. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened and fragrant.
3. Add Broth and Tomatoes: Stir in the chicken or beef broth, diced tomatoes (including the juice), diced potatoes, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
4. Make It Creamy: Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is creamy and smooth. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
5. Serve: Ladle the Cheeseburger Paradise Soup into bowls. Top with crumbled bacon, shredded lettuce, and pickle slices for a complete cheeseburger flavor experience.
