    This is a soup I came up with for my grandkids and it's based on an American fast food favorite...bacon cheeseburgers with fries! I know it sounds off-the-wall, but the flavors we all love in this classic combination translate surprisingly well into a soup too. Besides, anything with bacon in it can't be all bad (can I get an "amen")? This soup is a snap to prep, goes from stove to table in about 30 minutes, and it tastes amazing! Give it a try this week...I bet your kids will love the idea of "cheeseburger soup"

    Ingredients

    • 2 tbsp. olive oil
    • 1 small onion, diced
    • 6 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
    • 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained

    • 1 tbsp. sweet pickle relish
    • 2 cans cheddar cheese soup
    • 1 lb. ground beef
