I am barely making getting this up here before my 10 am deadline. Eeek. Well, when a kid needs to be taken to a Junior High trip to the pumpkin patch, some things just get shoved aside for awhile.
If you don't know a thing about Soup's On! Saturday, click here and read all about it. Basically, you come here to look at soup recipes, post your own recipe on your blog then come back here and post your link (the link specific to your soup post) in the Mr.Linky below so others can go to your blog and look at your recipe. And then you leave comments on as many blogs as you like, especially recipes that sound good or that you try. Feel free to leave how you changed it up for your family too. We all know that each family has specific tastes and like to try new things!
This week I am providing a link for a recipe rather than typing it out. I have subscribed to Taste of Home since 1995 (when I was 14;) and this is a recipe I found there and have made for my family for several years. It is pictured above, straight from their website. Personally, I don't think the picture looks that great. It looks very familiar and not because it is a soup I make. My friend Jenny N. might be familiar with it right now in her house. But it really and truly is yummy and my kids especially love it. Some of my family members make it for their families too and it has even won an award at our annual Christmas Soup Cook-Off (I will write more about that another time!).
So go and look at this recipe for Cheeseburger Soup. If you know me or have been reading here long, you'll probably know right off one thing I change when I make this, in addition to a few specifics I might sometimes mention. Can you guess? Who knows me best?
Might I just mention that I made Theresa's Taco Soup from last week and that my entire family loved it? (I took a picture but my email won't open up so I can't get it. I will post it later if/when I can get to it). As I told her, anything with taco seasoning and ranch seasoning is sure to please! And I will also add that Theresa is my only big sister. She isn't very big though. I am bigger. Uh-hem. But I am younger, always will be -- and I can lose weight. But, as you can see, I will never, ever be as tiny as my eensy-weensy, "big" sister!
I am very proud of my "big" Older and Wiser sister. You should look at their blog and see some about the humanitarian aid they have participated in for many, many years, including living in a foreign country for 15 years. Or you can read about their escapades as a family, or about how she, darn right, had a meeting with the Governor of Alaska yesterday. You betcha!
She is one of my closest friends and best cheerleaders. And a wonderful example to me for
But she's a little older now, and more mature. So now she just smiles when I copy her. And mostly she
Now, go post a soup recipe on your own blog and come back here and link to it. Or include your recipe in my comments section. Or email me your soup recipe and I will post it here, giving you full credit. And, if you do make a recipe linked here, please let us know!
Have a week full of autumn beauty!

Tiffany, that is also our cheeseburger soup recipe!! I've always loved Taste of Home, and a few years back, I picked up a little pamphlet of their famous soups & crockpot recipes. Good stuff!
Have fun at the pumpkin patch!
I am cooking 2 turkeys today totaling almost 30 lbs. I hope to have enough leftovers to make and freeze some soup! If anyone has a good turkey soup recipe, I would love it!
OH MY! I literally "laughed out loud" about the Older and Wiser sister stories, probably awakened my sleeping beauties who would NEVER, EVER act like their mother and auntie (one named after their mother, the other after their auntie the Younger, More Talented Sister!)
Indeed, I am reaping what was sown in those years if that is any consolation for the charlie horses!
Sorry I didn't get a soup recipe up yet this week. I will start early for next Saturday, so I can get it in.
Okay, now that I have read the recipe, I think that you don't use Velveeta. You probably use "real" cheese. That's my guess - do I know you best? Love, your Older and Wiser Sister
I had forgotten all about cheeseburger soup! This used to be one of my kids' favorites, and I especially liked that I did not have to make patties out of the beef!
I would have definitely said no Velveeta, and maybe more basil???
It looks super yummy and are looking for the right day to use it, probably this week!
For Turkey soup... I think it's all about the broth. I haven't had the best luck with Turkey broth in the past, but I'm learning some things... Include the neck, gizzards, skins with the bones when making the broth. You might want to add a few other savory veggies in the broth process too... onions, garlic, mushrooms, maybe a banana pepper... I prefer to pick off the meat and keep it separate during the broth-ing. It also makes it easier to just strain out anything that isn't liquid and toss it. Add a few hearty veggies for the soup - carrots, onions, celery, some good herbs, parsley, oregano, maybe a bay leaf. If you are going to freeze it, don't add the noodles until you are ready to serve, they'll get really mushy in the freezer and dissolve all together if they are fine noodles. Hope that stuff helps!
Tiff- I love the way you talk about a sister, sounds to me like you are both lucky ladies!
Sorry I didn't post last week.
Oh, I stayed up late Thursday getting my S-O-S recipe on my blog so that I could link it up before going out of town Saturday morning. AND I FORGOT! So, my linky is now in there, and my post is up. It's not a long-running family favorite, but it's a new-found good one.
As an interesting note: Soups are so very easy that I discovered we had a different soup almost every night this last week. Only because I couldn't seem to think of anything else!! I'll get around to posting those soups too. :D
This sounds so delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipee!
