Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200C, cut the hamburger buns into neat cubes of the same size and bake for 10-15 minutes to get golden and crispy croutons.

Cut the bacon into small pieces, squeeze the garlic, chop the onion and celery, grate the carrots on a fine grater, cut the potatoes into cubes. Fry the bacon in a frying pan without oil until crispy, transfer to a paper towel and set aside. Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan, fry the ground beef on it over medium heat until tender, stirring constantly to make it crumbly.
Step 3
Melt the butter in a thick-walled saucepan or patch over medium heat and fry the garlic, onion, celery and carrots in it with Worcestershire sauce for 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add flour and mix the ingredients thoroughly for a minute.

Finally, add minced meat, cheese and salt with pepper to taste. If the soup is too thick, you can dilute it with milk to the desired consistency.
