Hearty Cheeseburger Soup

"This is a great comfort soup that is a meal in itself. Even the kids will like it, just tell them the name of it. I like to serve it with some crusty bread and real butter. I found this in Taste of Home magazine."

  1. This was very different than all of my other recipes (and very tasty). I omitted the onion, increased to carrot and celery to 1 cup each, added 4.5 cups of broth instead of 3 and increased the beef to 1 lb. Also I skipped all of the butter and salt.
     
  2. This is the best cheeseburger soup out there Make this one!
     
  3. Yummy! This was great with fresh breadsticks and a salad! I easily doubled the recipe, and then froze half. It froze AND reheated well! If you want a hearty and flavor-ful soup that is family friendly, this is it! To get fancy, you can serve it with shredded lettuce and pickles on top...or if you are naughty you can add chopped cooked bacon, too.
     
  4. This was good. It had a different taste from any other cheeseburger soup I have made. I will be making this again for the family!
     
  5. My daughter and I love this soup. We first had a version of it at a friends house (urs is better)!! We also make "taco" soup out of it by adding taco seasoning to the cooked hamburger and adding some salsa. Yummy!

  2. This soup was OK. It was different for sure from the regular soups, which I liked. My kids did not care for it though. I think that I did not like the basil in it. I would omit if I make it next time or put in just a dash. I substituted noodles for potatoes since I am not a big lover of potatoes in soups that aren't potato soup. You have to give this one a try. Its different and with all the veggies and meat, its filling for sure. Could be a big hit in your family. Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. This is a WONDERFUL soup that brings both kids and adults to the table. I made three changes to make it more kid-friendly, easy and give it a little zip. First, I puried the onions, carrots and celery after cooking to improve the consistancy and fool the kids. Second, I used frozen hash browns instead of diced potatoes to save time. Third, I added a little shredded colby and dash or two of cayenne pepper to give it some zip. What a hit!!! I always make at least a double batch. Freezes great!!
