Cheeseburger Soup is the perfect answer for a cool spring or summer night.
My cousin Brenda made this soup for me, and it was so yummy I had to start serving it to my family. It’s simple to make and delicious.
A Few Tips
Grate your potatoes and carrots with a food processor or box grater. The grated vegetables give the soup a fine texture and cooks up quickly.
I like to use Velveeta or a generic processed cheese, which melts easily.
You may substitute 4 cups of chicken stock for the water and bouillon cubes if desired.
Sometimes I use Half and Half instead of whole milk. But do not use 2% or skim milk. I think that would leave you with a very “watery-tasting” soup.
Serve Cheeseburger Soup with a slice of Tangy Sourdough Bread or saltine crackers. See more Soup Recipes Here.
