Ingredients
Scale

- 1 ½ pounds of ground beef or ground bison for a rich and hearty flavor.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or oil of choice)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 ½ tablespoons English mustard or yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Creole mustard or whole grain mustard (if Creole is unavailable)
- 1 tomato (diced)
- 3 cups of plain (unsweetened almond milk, adding more if necessary to achieve your desired consistency)
- 1 cup of chopped romaine or iceberg lettuce for a crisp (refreshing crunch)
- 1 ½ cups raw cashews (see notes below)
- 1 ½ cups water
- ¼ cup fresh parsley (chopped, to serve)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cashew Cream: In a blender, combine raw cashews and water. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Cook the Beef: In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add ground beef, cooking until browned. Add garlic powder, onion, and celery, sautéing until vegetables are soft.
- Add Mustards and Tomato: Stir in English mustard, Creole mustard, and diced tomato. Let the mixture cook for a few minutes to blend flavors.
- Incorporate Almond Milk and Cashew Cream: Add almond milk and the prepared cashew cream, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Adjust thickness with more almond milk if needed.
- Final Touches: Stir in chopped lettuce just before serving. Top each bowl with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
- Serve: Ladle soup into bowls and enjoy the warm, savory cheeseburger flavors in a unique soup form!
Notes
- Cashew Cream Tip: For a smoother cashew cream, soak the raw cashews in warm water for 30 minutes before blending.
- Customize the Meat: You can use ground turkey or a plant-based ground meat for a lighter or vegetarian option.
- Adjusting the Consistency: Add more almond milk for a thinner soup, or simmer longer for a thicker consistency.
- Extra Toppings: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese, crispy bacon bits, or diced pickles on top for an extra cheeseburger vibe.
