I second this because depending on the restaurant the taste can range between heavenly and raw sewage and that's the sort of enigmatic property a soup of the night should possess.

Seems like a normal (minced) meat soup. Why the name "hamburger soup"?

There’s an Ohio style of chili made with little chunks of ground beef and it’s very soupy in consistency. That might be considered hamburger soup. Though it doesn’t look like the pic the other commenter posted.

No they got it, it's basically cheese soup with hamburger, carrots, onions, and potatoes. The first time I had it, the potato was in the form of shredded hash browns, that's still what I imagine when I think about it. But diced potatoes are good too. I brought it up at a restaurant I worked at that served fresh scratch soup every day and the chef in charge couldn't wrap her head around it being called "cheeseburger soup" but having potatoes and carrots in it. So she ended up using chopped tomatoes and pickles instead and adding ketchup and mustard to the base. It was good and definitely more "cheeseburger-y" in flavor profile, but it just wasn't the same as what I wanted, y'know?

Midnight soup is a thing for kitchens or mess halls open around the clock like in the military, big factories, or festivals.

Every soup can be a seductive soup of the night. Just gotta know how to treat it properly.
