How to Make Bacon Cheeseburger And Fries Soup
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown 1 pound of bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
- Add 1 large onion, chopped, and 2 stalks celery, chopped, to the pot and sauté in the bacon grease until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add 1 pound ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 4 cups beef broth, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 15 minutes.
- While the soup simmers, prepare the fries. Cut 2 large russet potatoes into fry shapes and fry in batches until golden brown and crispy (about 8-10 minutes per batch). Set aside.
- Crumble 8 slices of cooked bacon into the soup. Stir in 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese until melted and creamy.
- Once the cheese is melted, gently stir in the crispy fries. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra bacon and a sprinkle of fresh parsley (optional).
