Cheeseburger Soup
Yes, you read that right…..I said CHEESEBURGER SOUP.
And, it is so scrumptious, filling and tasty that you are going to find it becomes a regular in your meal plan rotation. My husband devoured it and BOTH kids came back for seconds….and the only soup they will eat is the Clear Broth at the Hibachi Style Restaurants and Chili (if you count that!). So, take my advice, and give this one a try… you will NOT be disappointed! The soup literally tastes like a hot, juicy, delicious cheeseburger. Although it does not photograph well, please do not doubt the tastiness! My entire family will vouch for it! Enjoy!
