you don't dump soup on the burger, you dip the burger in soup. People have already done this for years, it's called "au jus", ugh

i've found that campbells or storebrand are cheaper and just as effective. if you add a little ketchup to it it actually has an incredible texture too.
why not go whole hog and drown your burger in ketchup so you can no longer taste the campbells and lingering regret.

So, make a pot of soup, then add a fully constructed burger?

If you're dumping soup in your burger I'd probably call it meatloaf.

This also works. Why is burgers and soup so hard for people? It's a parallel concept to grilled cheese and tomato soup for gently caress's sake.

Well, it will taste fine that way, of course. But those extra steps are worth it.

The ChefSteps guys recommend it:

The problem I have with their technique is searing first, then SVing makes that nice seared-on crust soggy. You lose a texture you'd have if you cooked conventionally. You could sous vide first and finish with a sear, but then you run the risk of overcooking due to carryover.

As a home cook doing a couple of burgs at a time I'd prefer to cook on a grill (charcoal is best IMO) from raw without sous vide. If I were in a professional kitchen and trying to cook a few hundred burgs and have them all great I'd go with sous vide because it requires less individual attention to be perfect every time. Sear, refrigerate until ordered, bag and throw in water bath, done.

What are people's opinions on alternative burger meat? I'm not talking turkey or chicken, I'm talking bison and all that other crazy stuff.

I personally love me a bison burger. If you got a Ted's Montana Grill near you, you should go there and try one.

Bison burgers are fantastic. Ostrich also makes a great burger.

The important thing to keep in mind with strange meats is to keep the protein to fat ratio the same as in regular beef burgs. In practice this means adding some fat in most cases.

If the ChefSteps guys think it's a good idea, then it likely is a good idea. I made cančles recently and their recipe was so well written and researched that they came out almost perfectly on my first try.

It's not the burger I would make, but it's a riff on the Myhrvold Perfect Burger from Modernist Cuisine, which is kind of impractical for home cooks but has some interesting techniques to read about. It would probably be a pretty good burger.

Assuming you're not a multi-billionaire with your own centrifuges and food chemistry lab, you'd probably be better off with Modernist Cuisine at Home - it's smaller, way less expensive, and concentrates on stuff the normal food-obsessed nerd can do with minimal extra equipment.
