Crock Pot Cheeseburger Soup

It's soo cold here this weekend. I haven't even left the house since we got back home from visiting my family on Wednesday! My husband's work was cancelled today because of extreme cold. Right now it's -22 degrees with a wind chill of -46 degrees. It hasn't been this cold in a long time!

After being gone for a couple of months during the holidays, I am now back to working on the blog again. I'll have to make an update post on my boys, they are all getting so big and growing up too fast. 

With these cold temperatures it's the perfect time to make soup in the crock pot! So that's what I did yesterday. It was something new I'd never tried before: Cheeseburger Soup. It was really good! We had salad with it and it was the perfect meal. My little boy loved it as well. I'll definitely be making this again soon!
