Spicy Cheeseburger Soup
"This is a great Potato - Hamburger soup and a nice alternative to plain potato soup. It is spicy with the addition of a can of Rotel tomatoes (tomatoes with chili peppers added) - if you don't want it to be spicey, just add a can of plain diced tomatoes. This soup freezes well. I freeze it in Hefty disposable containers and warm it in the microwave for a quick meal."

This soup was absolutely wonderful. My family loved it. I could not feed it to my toddlers though. Next time I will use regular diced tomatoes. I would recommend it to everyone. -
This soup was so delicious. I also added garlic to the ground beef and instead of using a different pan for the flour and butter, I just shifted the carrot and onion mixture to one side of the pan and combined the flour and butter on the other side. Great recipe. Quick and simple to make. Thanks for posting.

I made this yesterday afternoon and let it simmer for a hour or so. My family loved it. I did add plenty of garlic when I browned my meat (I used a whole pound) and I did cut the basil in half, just seemed like way to much to me. I served it without the sour cream only because I was out and it was wonderful.

I am a teacher that likes to cook - sometimes. Right now I teach 8th grade English. I have three children: Kyndal 17, Spenser 15, and Sophie who will be 4 in October. We live in Waco, TX and like it. It is just the right size for us - not too big, but big enough to have lots of things to do.

<br>I like to cook when I am 'in the mood'and don't have a lot of other things to do. Before Sophie was born I did a lot of cooking ahead. Something that I am way behind on now.
