Yum! This soup is so good. Last weekend I was checking out meals matter. I hadn’t been on that site in forever. Anyway, I found this recipe in my personal cookbook on that site. I decided it would be a good dinner. So I put it on our meal plan.

Both the Imaginative One and hubby loved it! It was also easy to make, especially if you have already browned hamburger in the freezer.

The flavors will remind you of a cheeseburger with ketchup, mustard, and pickle.
