Bacon Cheeseburger Soup
Bacon cheeseburger soup is like a cheeseburger in a bowl. For this cheeseburger soup I
like good quality extra sharp cheddar. I also like high quality thick sliced bacon.

Stir in the basil and the parsley. Add the broth and the potatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer until the potatoes

slightly cooked, about 3 minutes. Add the milk, stirring until smooth.
Gradually add the milk mixture to the soup, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to simmer. Stir in
the cheese. When the cheese is melted, add the sour cream and heat through. Do not boil.
Ladle the soup into soup bowls and top with bacon crumbles.
If you like you can spice up this recipe with a diced jalapeno pepper or some cayenne pepper powder. Enjoy your cheeseburger
