CHEESEBURGER AND PICKLE SOUP
This is a classic cheeseburger soup but with a unique twist; adding dill pickles. It sounds a little strange but if you love dill pickles on your cheeseburger, this recipe is a must! I had it at a restaurant once and fell in love, and I've been perfecting it ever since. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and/or more pickles - I like more chopped pickles in mine, personally.

BACON CHEESEBURGER SOUP ( PAULA DEEN )
This recipe is from Cooking with Paula Deen magazine Nov/Dec 2009. This soup is warm and hearty. People of all ages loved it and it is a fast family supper. You can double it easily and freeze the second portion for later. It tastes more like a regular cheeseburger to me. I garnished mine with some cheddar cheese as well.

"BACON CHEESEBURGER AND FRIES" SOUP
My son asked for Cheeseburger Soup, and having never made it I researched 'Zaar. While I was browsing I had a vision: the best bacon-cheeseburger and fries I ever had, chopped into a soup or chowder. This is my vision realized. It came out even better than I had hoped. The flavors are layered, no one thing stands out, but each ingredient is recognizable. The celery stands in for lettuce, and everthing else is present! It is very rich.

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.
