Cheeseburger Soup
Do you love soup, but tired of having the same one all the time?
I was too, and one of my go to soup recipes, Taco Soup I made so many times that Noah refused to eat it!
Lucky for Noah, this Cheeseburger soup recipe turned out to be awesome!
Today for game day I made a handful of fun things to eat. One of those was cheeseburger soup. As usual, I found a couple of recipes on Pinterest and created my own with what I had on hand. The cheeseburger soup turned out great, so I am sharing with y’all now! All three of my kids even agreed that it was good. I do not know what things are like at your homes, but when all three of my kids will eat something it is a borderline miracle.
