Cheeseburger Macaroni Soup

I will admit, when I heard about this easy cheeseburger macaroni soup I was more than a little skeptical. I knew my kids would love it but I was not sure that I would care too much for it. So after both my kids and my husband gave it rave reviews, I decided to give it a try although I dreaded raising my spoon for that first bite.

But then, I was really pleasantly surprised! I had someone suggest to me that when I made it, to try it with some chopped dill pickles added as garnish and, against my better judgement, I did just that. I would have never imagined it in a million years, but the pickles absolutely made this dish for me. Seriously! Who knew?

  1. I’ve made this many times but I don’t add celery, parsley and I just sorta peel the carrots not chop them. It’s great with fresh baked crusty bread. It’s been a hit over and over.
