I have a nightly battle that goes on at my house. I have two picky eaters and one who will eat pretty much anything. I love trying new recipes but I hate hearing terms like, “gross” , “what is that?”, “I’m not eating that.”. (Is it just me???? Please say it is not just me!) So when I came across a recipe for Cheeseburger soup, I knew I had to give it a try.
My boys like cheeseburgers and for the most part they like soup, so naturally they should like Cheeseburger soup. And when I find a recipe that all of my boys like, I definitely have to share it.
Even though it is starting to get warm/hot in my neck of the woods, we have still had a few chilly days (and yes I realize that chilly to me would be considered heat wave to some of my friends. 🙂 )
My favorite thing to do on a rare stormy day is make some soup. It is easy to do and warms you right up!
This Cheeseburger soup recipe is adapted from Taste of Home. I modified it just a bit by adding more broth and cheese and it turned out great! Even my pickiest eater ate it all up.
