Bacon cheeseburger soup is like a cheeseburger in a bowl. For this cheeseburger soup I like good quality extra sharp cheddar. I also like high quality thick sliced bacon.
This soup is warm and hearty. People of all ages love it and it is a fast family supper. It doubles easily and freezes well so you can freeze some for later.
I like to garnish with some extra cheddar cheese as well.
Hope you like it.
