Cheeseburger Soup
When I was in college I happened upon a recipe. Little did I know that it would become the most common soup I made. It’s hearty, it’s chunky, it’s cheesy, it’s beefy, it’s got veggies to keep ya strong, but most importantly it makes a ton of soup which saved me time on cooking and left more time for studying. Also, more time for watching movies… Another beautiful part of this recipe is how easy it is to modify. Cook up some breakfast beef, cut it into bite sized pieces, toss it into the soup at the same time you add the cheese to get some nice smokey goodness throughout the soup or add a bag of sno pac mixed vegetables to get more veggies in there, or do both! This soup is called “cheeseburger soup” but it’s really more like a cheesy potato stew, but let’s face it, that’s just semantics.
No Matter what you call it this soup is perfect when you want a nice hearty soup! Check out the video below to see how I made this soup.
