"bacon Cheeseburger and Fries" Soup

"My son asked for Cheeseburger Soup, and having never made it I researched 'Zaar. While I was browsing I had a vision: the best bacon-cheeseburger and fries I ever had, chopped into a soup or chowder. This is my vision realized. It came out even better than I had hoped. The flavors are layered, no one thing stands out, but each ingredient is recognizable. The celery stands in for lettuce, and everthing else is present! It is very rich."

  1. Very thick and hearty, but the type of soup you still have force yourself to stop eating!.
     
  2. This soup did taste like it states. But we did not care for it. I think children would like this soup.<br/>Directions are not good for a new cook. 4 items are left hanging in the ingredients list.<br/>I did not use the velveeta,don't think it was missed. This is a rich soup.
     
  3. Made recipe with all the ingredients listed, except I did this in my slow cooker, though I did slightly brown the beef first, along with the onion, celery and slightly cooked the bacon. By far one of the best soups we have had in a LONG time. Alot goiung on here, as to ingredients and the wonderful aroma in the house after I was out for a little bit. I cooked this in the slow cooker for 6 hours. Perfect soup for last night, and a keeper here . Made for PRMR tag.
