The food:It’s always handy to have some recipes in your back pocket for those nights when it seems there’s nothing in the house to eat. This cheeseburger soup is a great example. It’s a fantastic way to use up leftover ground beef, and it comes together so quickly that you canmake it and eat it in less than half an hour. Plus, you getprotein and veggies(along withcheese, because cheese makes everything better). Cheeseburger soup isn’tglamorous, but it’s easy, quick, and sure to please picky palates that would rather visitthe golden arches than eat a home-cooked meal.
The music:Duringa music-filled road trip a couple of years ago, myfriend Megan and I decided we shouldevaluatefuture boyfriends on just one criteria—does he like Phil Collins?Those who don’tshould be kicked to the curb.Phil’sa geniusand 1985’s “No Jacket Required” is a classic.Imagine my horror, then, to learn the man of my dreams hates Phil Collins—I mean loathes and wishes ill will upon. Lucky for him, I gave my mana pass on thisobvious shortcoming (don’t tell Megan), and wait until he’s not around to listen to Phil.This LP kicks off with its biggest hit (andmy least favorite song on the album), “Sussudio.” You can make this soup before Side 1 wraps, and then eat while listening to Side 2, which is bookended by bighits—”Don’t Lose My Number” and (my favorite) “Take Me Home.”

That looks good! With all of the snow on the ground and the below zero wind chills, I could really go for a bowl of soup right now!

Cheeseburger Soup-what a great idea! And about Phil Collins,- he is brilliant. So I am with you there. As for the new fellow, I say you are right to give him a pass on his taste in music. After all, no one is perfect!

This sounds fantastic! I love a creamy, comforting soup like this on weekends when it is this cold out. It definitely soothes the soul. My mom happens to be one of the biggest Phil Collins fans I know so I am very well familiar with his music. Another great post, Becky 🙂

Recipes that can use up leftovers are great. The idea of cheeseburger soup is really interesting….and I have those nights where I don’t know what to have quite often, so this recipe may be added into the mix! Thanks for sharing! Have a great week!
