I was disappointed with this soup. I followed the ingredients and instructions exact.
Soup was bland. I will say there is room for improvement. This did not taste like a cheeseburger at all. It wasn't bad but lacking taste. As the recipe is the soup broth is thick which is good because we like thick soups. I'm sorry.

Awesome! I'll be making this again!

This is a wonderful, creamy, rich, thick soup. It really hit the spot tonight. Since there's only the 2 of us and it makes so much, I'm going to freeze a couple of small containers for my 87 year old aunt and the remaining for us to have on another cold night. My package of hash browns was 30 oz. so I added more chicken broth. I did add garlic and smoked paprika to the ground beef to give it a little more flavor. The next time I make this soup, I think I will not add the flour/butter mixture. It really doesn't need any more thickening in my opinion. I also think you could add some broccoli to pump up the veggie count.
