How to Serve Cheesy Hamburger Potato Soup

Place your pot of soup in the center of the table and let family and friends serve themselves because food tastes even better when shared. Serve with crusty bread or fluffy rolls, and lay out toppings like bacon bits, extra cheese, and chives. That way, everyone can dress their bowl to their liking.

Serve with Intention

Complement this dish with a side of seasonal greens, a bowl of warm grains, or even a calming cup of herbal tea. Slow down, savor each bite, and share the moment with someone you love. Food always feels more nourishing when it’s enjoyed with gratitude and good company.

How to Keep It Fresh

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, let the soup cool and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. When reheating, do so slowly on the stove, adding a splash of milk or broth to bring back the creaminess.
