Cheeseburger Soup

The weather is still quite frigid up in the North. If you are experiencing the same kind of Winter I am, you should cook up a batch of this warm and comforting Cheeseburger soup. Many thanks to The Country Cook for this recipe.

Notes:
-I always use this beef bouillon paste made by Superior Touch whenever a recipe calls for bouillon cubes. It has a great flavor and dissolves easily in soups and gravy.
-I used red onion to use up what I had on hand.
-I omitted the bacon on top only because I forgot. Oops!

  4. In a small bowl, whisk together flour and remaining 1/2 cup milk until smooth. Gradually whisk into soup.
