Cheeseburger Soup – Your favorite summer time sandwich in a warm and comforting soup. Top with bacon, cheese and your other favorite burger toppings for a delicious dinner!
Soup just might be the best and most comforting meal once the weather turns cold. It can be a soup that comes together in just minutes like our favorite Wonton Soup.
Or it can sit in the crock pot or on the stove and simmer for hours. Slow Cooker Chili is a hearty soup that will warm you up any chili night.

And what goes better with soup than bread. It is pretty much half the reason I make any soup in the first place. Red Lobster Biscuits are a hit with just about anything, so they are always a good idea. But if you want something a little more traditional then these Soft Breadsticks are delicious!

Emily @ Life on Food says
Soup is one of those things I will eat year round regardless of how hot it gets outside. My husband isn’t too fond of it though however I think if I used the word cheeseburger he might suddenly become more interested.
Jean says
I add Worcestershire to burgers, too. This soup sounds sooo good!
Lora @cakeduchess says
Fun to see Worcestershire in this comforting soup. I like your #SS theme this week. I would be leaning towards cheese as well. I know, I have so many soups I wanted to make and wish it would stay cooler here a bit longer;)

Thank you for the education about snow, Erin. I just thought snow fell period. My excuse: I’ve only lived in Southern California and in Tokyo – spots where snow is rarely seen. =)
Anyway, I love your story about how your cheeseburger soup came to be. And when the kidlets give a thumbs up to a dinner or dessert, you know you’ve got a winner on your hands!
