Yum, Cheeseburger Soup!
A Delicously Different Twist on an American Favorite
My first encounter with Cheeseburger Soup was at the restaurant attached to the truck stop i used to work at. Their version, while tasty, was too salty and really kinda bland. After many hours searching, this one is the winner. Cook up and enjoy!
