My aunt was not joking when she said this cheeseburger soup would warm me right up. We added a bit of hot sauce and boy oh boy was it the best soup I have ever had made from leftovers. My entire house filled up with the yummy scent of cheeseburger soup…but we weren’t having cheeseburgers, we were having soup! How amazingly cool is that? I’ll tell ya something else, this soup really warms your belly up but don’t let that deter you from indulging in this culinary masterpiece during the summer months. It’s good at any time of the year 🙂
