Cheeseburger Soup

I tried a new recipe today basically to get rid of the leftover’s I had in my fridge.   Thinking it would be an average throw together they will eat it and like it meal, I got a very pleasant surprise.   I might add that you not be so hesitant like me in garnishing this wonderful soup.  I slowly ate my soup looking in disgust as my daughter doused hers with ketchup and mustard.   I put a little more salt on it thinking that would make it better.  It was good but I saw my daughter eating something I was sure she would not so it peaked my interest.  my bowl was already 1/2 way gone and I squirted my mustard and ketchup shyly in.  yummmmm   so I put more in, yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm so now I am ashamed I waited to do this and I go get another bowl and this time add in pickles!  YUMMMMMMMMMMMM   okay you have to try this to believe me that ketchup, mustard and pickles in a soup is good.  Really you have to try it because if you don’t you will sit there and miss out like I almost did.

Odd soup, really odd.   It was an easy soup to make, really easy.   It was a yummy soup, really yummy……..get the point here?  you just have to try it.  Only alteration I did was gluten-free flour (tom sawyer) and I used mont/jack cheese blend which is our favorite.
