Spring is just around the corner, but we still have quite a few cold and damp days left. The kind of days where you want a nice bowl of soup and this cheeseburger soup is a perfect hearty comfort food that will warm you to your toes.

This soup really only takes a few minutes to throw together and only about 20 minutes to cook once it is boiling. It's really a very easy quick soup recipe as long as you already have all the ingredients on hand!

Of course, if you have a busy day planned, you can easily turn this in to a crockpot cheeseburger soup recipe - just follow the directions below and add everything to your crockpot and set it on low for about 4-5 hours (adding the roux in the the last 30 minutes).

One thing though - any soup with potatoes make in the crockpot tends to thicken more quickly than when made on top of the stove.  If you make this cheeseburger soup recipe in your crockpot, you may not NEED to add the flour/milk mixture ( but you might need to add the extra butter...the flour is a thickener...the butter adds creaminess) and it will really depend on personal tastes. I find that potato soup in the crockpot doesn't need a thickening agent like a roux. But that is just my preference!

If you decide to make this in a crockpot, you will just have to try it to see how it works best for your tastes!
