[recipe] Soup Sunday - Cheeseburger Soup

As Fall is upon us so is Soup Sunday. I have decided that it is more of a seasonal thing than a year round thing...although I am not denying that I might have an occasional Soup Sunday in the Summer.

Today the MIL and FIL came over for Soup. I made Cheeseburger Soup. It was delish. I know that it sounds a little weird but it was very good. We gave it about a 8.5/10. It was super easy to make and I am anticipating to be able to make it again in the future!
