Cheeseburger Soup
This Cheeseburger Soup is a hearty and comforting soup that takes the classic flavors of a cheeseburger and transforms them into a creamy bowl of goodness! With the addition of freshly shredded cheddar cheese that melts seamlessly into the broth, you will get a silky and cheesy flavor reminiscent of a cheeseburger.
