Instructions
Step 1: Brown the Meat
Spray a large soup pot or Dutch oven with nonstick spray.
Add the lean turkey and diced onion. Cook over medium heat for about 6–8 minutes, breaking the meat apart as it cooks.
Once browned, add garlic and cook another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 2: Build the Soup
Add:
- potatoes
- carrots
- tomatoes
- chicken broth
- Worcestershire sauce
- mustard
- paprika
- onion powder
- garlic powder
- salt & pepper
Stir everything together well.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
Cover and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender.
Step 3: Make it Creamy
In a bowl, whisk together:
- almond milk
- softened cream cheese
Mix until mostly smooth.
Pour into the soup and stir well.
Step 4: Thicken the Soup
In a small bowl, mix:
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp cold water
Stir until smooth.
Slowly pour into the soup while stirring continuously.
Let simmer for 3–5 minutes until thickened and creamy.
Step 5: Add the Cheese
Reduce heat to low.
Slowly stir in reduced-fat cheddar cheese until fully melted.
Do not boil after adding cheese or it can become grainy.
Tips for the BEST Low Point Cheeseburger Soup
Use 99% lean turkey
This keeps the points super low while still giving that cheeseburger flavor.
Dice potatoes small
Smaller potatoes help naturally thicken the soup and create that rich texture.
Fresh shredded cheese melts better
Pre-shredded cheese can make soups slightly grainy.
Want it even creamier?
Blend 1 cup of the soup and stir it back in.
