One of my favorite things about Fall is that it is officially soup season! If you are looking for a soup to warm you up and make you feel all cozy inside, then this Cheeseburger Soup is definitely it. It is delicious and filling and falls into the comfort food category. Serve it with some warm sourdough bread and you have the perfect meal for a cold night.

When making the soup, you’ll notice in the ingredients list that there are many things that give cheeseburger soup it’s delicious flavor, including hot sauce. Don’t worry, this doesn’t add any spicy heat, it just gives the soup some extra flavor.

To make this cheeseburger soup a little more healthy, you can add vegetables like carrots and celery. My family might look at me a little cross eyed if I did that and say that I ruined a perfectly good soup. 😉 On the other hand, bacon makes an excellent soup topper.
