A local restaurant serves a similar soup but wouldn't share their recipe with me. So I developed my own, modifying a recipe for potato soup. I was really pleased at how good this "all-American" soup turned out. -Joanie Shawhan, Madison, Wisconsin

I made this recipe as is but for my second bowl I added ketchup & mustard and it was delicious - definitely tasted like a cheeseburger!

Excellent! The only change I made was to cut back the salt to 1/2 tsp. Next time I would cut back even more.

Our kids and I love this recipe, but my husband isn't crazy about it for some reason. I make this on nights he has to work.

Great recipe! Made almost exactly as written (left out the sour cream since it was already so creamy). My husband and I both loved it and can't wait to make it again.

My family LOVED this soup. We all added hamburger pickle slices to our individual bowls and it gave it a whole new flavor, fantastic!
