I cannot claim this recipe as my own. The recipe comes from another board.
I think it makes a great lunch.
Cheeseburger Soup
1 T oil
1 t garlic, minced
1/2 green pepper chopped
1 medium onion, chopped...............being a CALP person I used green onion, as regular onion is on the reward meal list
1 stalk celery, sliced (I didn't use this, I do NOT like celery)
8-12 oz ground beef
1 beef bouillon cube or packet
2 cups of heavy cream
4-6 oz sharp cheddar cheese, grated
Heat oil in a soup pot. Saute garlic, onion, celery and green pepper until tender. Add the meat and brown, drain. Mix in the beef bouillon. Slowly
add the cream, stirring constantly, but do not let it boil ( the cream will curdle if allowed to boil.) Add the cheese. Stir until melted and serve.
It was suggested that crumbled bacon be added to the soup. I do this, it is wonderful!!!
This soup is very filling, you can't eat much, too rich. But a cup, will hold me until dinner.
