It’s Friday already. How does the week go by so fast?
It’s getting colder and I hate it, so I made soup. . . delicious cheeseburger soup.
So simple to make and absolutely scrumptious. We all devoured it, even my pickiest eater. It’s got great flavor, is hearty and filling and will absolutely warm you right up on those cold, chilly nights.
Enjoy!
