Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 3 cups gluten-free chicken broth
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 cups potatoes, peeled and diced

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it into smaller pieces, and cook until browned. Drain excess fat and set the beef aside.

- Return the cooked ground beef to the pot. Add cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, dried basil, and dried parsley. Stir until the cheese is melted and fully incorporated.
- Simmer the soup for an additional 5 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together.
- Serve hot and enjoy your comforting gluten-free cheeseburger soup!
Helpful Tips
- Make it Dairy-Free: Replace the milk with your favorite non-dairy option and use dairy-free cheese.
- Thicker Soup: For a thicker consistency, use a potato masher to lightly mash some of the potatoes in the pot.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or microwave.
