The Best Bacon Cheeseburger Soup

This easy Bacon Cheeseburger Soup was inspired by a meal I had while visiting my parents many years ago. If you could imagine a cheeseburger with bacon and mushrooms…in a bowl…this would be it! Yum!!

This beefy burger of a soup is hearty and so fun – especially with toasted garlic buns for dipping. My family loves them. And for me? I adore loading up my bowl with dill pickle chips…because what’s a cheeseburger without pickles?!

What to Serve with Cheeseburger Soup

As I already mentioned, my go-to way to serve this bacon mushroom cheeseburger soup is topped with dill pickle chips and cheddar cheese, and toasted garlic rolls on the side. To me, that combination tastes just like my favorite bacon cheeseburger.

Feel free to add your own preferred toppings, like diced fresh tomatoes or jalapeno slices. You may also want to add some extra chopped bacon or a dollop of sour cream. Some fresh green onion would also be good!

Breadsticks, Cheesy Garlic Bread, Texas Toast, and even plain crusty bread can be used in place of the toasted dinner rolls too.

If you’d like to serve a salad with this soup, I’d recommend keeping it simple with some fresh iceberg or Romaine lettuce, plus some sliced onion and fresh tomatoes. Buttermilk Ranch Dressing would be perfect!

And for all you crazy pickle fanatics (me!!), a side of Fried Dill Pickles would be SO GOOD with this meal!
