Question 1

Can I use ground turkey instead of ground beef?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Ground turkey works beautifully and still gives you that hearty, cozy flavor. You may just want to season a touch more since turkey is milder.

Question 2

Can I make this Cheeseburger Soup gluten-free?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Instead of flour, use cornstarch or arrowroot to thicken the soup. Mix about 2 tablespoons with a little water to make a slurry and stir it in at the end until thickened.

Question 3

Can I make this lighter?

Accepted Answer

Yes — you can use all milk instead of heavy cream, reduce the cheese slightly, or use ground turkey. It will still be creamy, cozy, and delicious.

Question 4

Does this soup freeze well?

Accepted Answer

Cream-based soups don’t freeze perfectly. If you want to freeze it, freeze it before adding the cheese and cream, then stir those in fresh when reheating.
