Okay, this is a recipe from Allrecipes.com Cheeseburger Soup I) that I completely changed. First off, it was NOTHING like a cheeseburger. Secondly, it needed a MAJOR flavor kick. Also, I made it with regular cheddar cheese but a reviewer suggested Velveeta for a more creamy soup. This is also one of those recipes you can toss more stuff in! Corn, beans, peppers, etc. Have fun with it and make it yours!!! I also serve mine with a healthy sprinkling of chili powder on top!
