I made this for the *Cooking for Keni* Month!
It's also a slow cooker recipe for the February 2018 recipe challenge!
Slow Cooker Cheeseburger Soup

This is an excellent cheeseburger soup! It really tastes like a cheeseburger; which is nice to have on a cold snowy night (while my BBQ is buried in the snow! ;) The whole family loved it!
I did change a few things. Keni knows I would never use liquid smoke. I use to tell her she used too much of it, Lol.....instead I topped it with some smoky bacon. I also left out the jalapenos. Mostly for the kids, but I was also stranded in snow in -40C temps so I had to use what I had on hand anyways!! So instead I chopped up some dill pickles to enhance the dill flavor. (I bet some pickled jalapenos would be great instead of fresh jalapenos too!)
I decided to leave the cheese out of the soup and just top our bowls with it instead. I find cheese makes a mess inside of the slow cooker so I'd rather top our bowls instead. :)
I've always put chopped potatoes in cheeseburger soup and cooked them that way. But I love the crispy potato wedges in this! It's a nice change! I used McCain Savoury Wedges, and they have lot's of flavor! But I'm sure homemade wedges would be great too.
It's such a versatile recipe that you could change to suit to your tastes. Think, mushroom-swiss burger, Chipotle flavour w/Guacamole, BBQ flavour with caramelized onions etc, etc...
A quick to prepare, easy and tasty recipe!
Thanks Keni <3

Great photo Shona and wonderful review. I’m sure the variations could be endless just like a burger.

Lovely photo Shona, I like that you used Smokey bacon, I don’t care for liquid smoke either.

Oh yay, glad you enjoyed this Shona!! Smokey bacon is a perfect substitute for the liquid smoke, great idea, and your picture makes me want a bowl of this at 9:30am lol :)

Lol, Michelle! It's getting close to lunch time though! ;)
I finally got to make it after looking all week for the potato wedges! One store advertised in the flyer but they were sold out when I got there, lol. But definitely worth the wait. Like you said, it really does make the soup! :D
