Bacon Cheeseburger Soup



There's something about chilly, rainy days that make me want to eat soup!  I'm not sure why I love soup so much...but I do!  So I looked at what I had in the kitchen and started thinking.. I almost gave up because I didn't think I had anything for soup.  Boy was I wrong!

 

I had some turkey bacon left over (it was on sale. eh.) and I had some ground beef.  I always have cheese..  Hmm..

 

So I cooked my "bacon."

 

 

I then added diced onions and minced garlic.

 

I browned my hamburger.

 

I added salt, pepper, and this special seasoning...

 

I had a couple potatoes so I cut them up and threw them in.

And I threw in this block of cheese!

 

Just kidding.  I shredded it first.

 

I mad a roux for thickening.

 

 

And voila!  Bacon cheeseburger soup!

 

It was pretty delicious.  Paul loved it too -- and he said he doesn't even care for soup!  I'm doing my best to be the next Soup Nazi from Seinfeld. :-)

 

I absolutely love cooking!  Tomorrow we are going to a BBQ and I'm thinking about what I should bring, and we have a potluck on Sunday that I'm excited about too!  Guess what I'm making?
