Cheeseburger Soup
Great Soup for a Winter Meal.
I love a hot bowl of soup on a winters evening and this hearty cheeseburger soup is just the soup to fit the bill. The soup in this lens is a recipe that a friend gave me several years ago and I have altered it to fit my family's taste.
I use ground turkey for the meat most of the time and I also use lowfat milk and cheese to try to keep it healthy. We love a mug of this soup for lunch and many times we'll add a salad and have it for our main meal in the evening. It is one of my husbands favorites soups.
ENJOY!

Cheeseburger Soup Recipe
This is a great soup for dinner. Just add a salad and perhaps some bread and you have a good meal. I sometimes make this soup ahead of time and put in a covered bowl until it is time to eat. I then ladle a cup of the soup in my favorite mug and heat in the microwave for 2 minutes.

My Time Saving Tips
Here is what works best for me.
- First of all I put the recipe in my recipe clip so it is always right in front of me.
- When I make the soup I first start the meat to brown.
- While it is browning I chop the onions, carrots and celery.
- When the vegetables are simmering I chop up the potatoes.
- While the potatoes are cooking I get the cheese, milk, salt and pepper in a measuring cup ready to add to the soup.
