Many of y’all know I love soup. I actually look forward to Fall and Winter for the sole reason of having an excuse to eat more soup. There’s just something so comforting about it to me.
Some of you may also remember me telling you that I wasn’t really a fan of potato soup growing up ….. I would sit there and stare at it for hours and my parents always threatened me with “having it for breakfast.” Over the years, I found out it wasn’t so bad, and now I do enjoy it on occasion. I have a few different variations that, in my mind, made it more palatable than I remember as a child. Having some cheese in my potato soup is always a big plus.
This Spicy Cheeseburger Soup has been a favorite for years. Sometimes – not always, I like to top it with bacon. I personally like to add a few dashes of hot sauce to mine – but not everyone in my family does, so we serve it on the side. Some fresh baked rolls or biscuits would be great with this soup! I hope y’all enjoy it as much as we do!

This soup sounds right up our alley! Yummy!!
Actually, it doesn't take much "tricking it up" to get me to eat potato soup – I just love it. But turning it into cheeseburger soup sounds sensational.
We're not big soup people, but I have to admit that I'm coming around. Especially when looking at a bowl like this.
Thanks for sharing, Jamie!
