Low Carb Bacon Cheeseburger soup per Roz' request!

Roz had requested my Cheeseburger soup recipe.  I thought I'd post it here for everyone to see.  If you use Pinterest like I do, you can follow the link below and PIN it.  I use Pinterest for my own personal recipe folder.  I keep a lot of my favorites there so I have them wherever I go.

This is titled Bacon Cheeseburger soup.  Now - who doesn't like bacon in almost EVERYTHING?  Well.. First time I made it I didn't have any bacon so I left it out and like it, second time I included it and didn't really care for the taste - it seemed (to me) like the bacon overpowered it.  The third time I halved the bacon, which helped a lot, but I personally like it better without the bacon.

This is one of those "soups" that is even better the next and subsequent days.  I also included mushrooms in mine (I put them in almost everything!).  You can modify as you like - really I don't think there is anything you could do to ruin this soup!  Oh, it's not the consistency of fluid soup, but thicker.  I've (in the past) wanted mine just a little thicker and put a little cornstarch in it - worked like a charm!

sounds yummy.  I love soup and having it around for a quick meal.  Thanks.

Thanks Jody.  That sounds good.

I love Pinterest and have a board for food and keep a lot of recipes there.  It is so easy to get back to them.

I haven't figured out Pinterest.  I joined but can't seem to use it.  It always surprises me when I get notices about folks following me when I do nothing on there.  Maybe I'll see about keeping recipes there.

Thank you for this.   Sounds really good.   I may have to give this one a try !!

Thanks Jody!!   When we get home from vacation it should be really good soup weather. I hope DH will try it!

I pinned it, as soon as soup weather hits, this is dinner.
