Ingredients

• 6 oz ground beef
• 1 large egg
• 1 slice cheddar cheese slice
• 1 burger bun
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 lettuce leaf
• 1 medium, diced tomato
• 1 small, chopped onion
• 1 minced garlic clove
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 2 tbsp heavy cream

Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 small chopped onion and 1 minced garlic clove, sautéing for 4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
2. Step 2: Stir in 1 medium diced tomato, 2 cups vegetable broth, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes until tomatoes break down.
3. Step 3: Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth, then stir in 2 tbsp heavy cream and keep warm on low heat.
4. Step 4: Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and form 6 oz ground beef into a patty. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
5. Step 5: Cook the patty in the skillet for 4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Place 1 slice cheddar cheese on top and cover for 1 minute until melted.
6. Step 6: In a separate pan, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat and toast 1 burger bun cut side down until golden, about 2 minutes.
7. Step 7: Fry 1 large egg sunny side up in the skillet for 2-3 minutes until whites are set but yolk remains runny.
8. Step 8: Assemble the burger with the lettuce leaf, cheesy beef patty, and fried egg on the toasted bun. Serve immediately with a warm bowl of tomato soup.
