Add Your Toppings!
Topping are the fun part to add to this cheeseburger soup recipe! There are already so many great ingredients in this recipe that it all blends together. With every bite you are guaranteed a cheesy spoonful with a vegetable and topping. These toppings are versatile and can be made quickly. I love how simple they are and bring this cheeseburger soup even more flavor!

Bacon pieces: for a quick way of making bacon, I use the microwaveable bacon and cut into chunks. Left over bacon is great too.

Sour cream: a dollop of sour cream on top just adds to the taste with onions and chives.

Onion: chopped and added to the top for a more crunchy texture.

Pickles: dill is my favorite. This is fun to have chunks of pickles on top. It adds a sweeter taste to the soup.

Crackers: you can never go wrong with crackers. Oyster crackers are fun and little to throw on top or just saltine crackers with a salty taste.

Croutons: these will soak up all the cheesy broth and add and extra soft, crunch to your bite.

Chips: salty chips are fun to use or pita chips. Dip them like salsa or crumble them up.

Bun croutons: dice up a sesame seed bun and toast it or sauté it over the oven until they are golden brown and add to the top.
