This might be the fastest turn-around for a blog post I’ve ever had. I made this soup on Sunday, and it’s already on the blog two days later! If you can’t tell, that means that this soup is GOOD.

Better than good actually – we absolutely loved it! It is so rich and hearty, and the taste is incredible. It’s chock full of vegetables and potatoes, and of course you couldn’t have cheeseburger soup without ground beef and cheese!

Mike and I both said this is a new favorite for us, and believe it or not, Zeke gulped it down. My picky (almost) two year old who usually doesn’t eat meat or potatoes or carrots ate spoon after spoon of this soup and kept asking for more. If that’s not a winning recommendation, I don’t know what is. 🙂

Make this soup while it’s cold and snowy out – it will warm you up and keep you full. And don’t forget the bread, such as these soft dinner rolls or soft pretzel rolls. Yum!
