Cheeseburger Soup

I love a good cheeseburger and this soup to me is cheeseburger in comfort food form. It’s good on it’s own, and it’s unique with the quirkiness of the veggie toppings- but the toppings aren’t for everyone! (half of my family passed on them!) But those homemade croutons! 10/10 recommend!
