Cheeseburger soup

[DougE]

Just takes time to move. The one pic was taken out of loader tractor...150 hp, front wheel assist. Usually in my short sleeves with heat turned down, gets so warm in cab. Takes longer to move snow far enough for feed trucks and semis to get around.

Only time I EVER put hay out with an open station tractor is as a last resort. Them cab tractors got us spoiled.

Spoiled but needed in times like these weather conditions. Played tetris in the shop making room for loader tractor last night. 1 combine, 2 tractors, skidloader, diesel pickup, 73 mustang, mower, and 4 wheeler. But heated to 50 degrees so no issues with the cold.

Now if I'm bush hogging fields, I want an open station with no loader, like my rig. I don't mind burning up in the summer, but the older I get, the less I can handle cold.

The soup looks great from here, the pot not so much lol, if you want to clean real silverware put water in the pot and set the silverware in it, I think in about 1 hour it will be nice and shiny, no heat required, some type of chemical comes off the aluminum pot . I think the anodized stopped the chemical release. Don't mean to down your new pot just a lot of folks have never heard of the dangers of some cookware out there.

Here you are Rick, BGKYSmoker

That's for a single batch, we doubled it. I know we added sazon goya, onion, and garlic powder as well...didn't measure. Add any seasonings you want for your tastes.

Man that soup looks fantastic Ryan. Rich, thick, hearty, and good for the soul. It much be some kinda thick though if you need the drill AND both batteries to stir the stuff Seriously buddy, excellent job.

Lousy picture but that's my lab Chance waiting next to the smoker for a bone. Every time I smoked a batch of bones he would sit next to the smoker for the entire cook.

Yes couple weeks ago we had single digits in the morning ( sorry that is " C " ) so about the same high 40s low 50s. that is too early.

But we are in for our 3rd heavy rain storm warning again for the next 24-30 hours might be up to 100 mm if the 2 cold fronts hit right again.

That is 3 very heavy rains in 4 weeks First 1 we had 240mm in 30 hours, many roads washed out and couple bridges , and people lost their lives caught in the fast waters , washed their 2 vehicles down the rivers took few days to find the car and truck and long to find the children, very sad.

Will know by noon on Saturday how we fare this time. Might only be between 30 - 50 if we do not get the thunder storm at the same time.

Thanks Ryan, it did not get as bad only between 45+ mm, depending where you were .
But the good thing was no wind at all. So came straight down. Have not heard od any flooding of homes yet , but it is early.

An old post, I know, but chopped dill pickles!

Lovely photos--glad it's August now--and a great little pup.

Well with all the cold weather Sunday seemed like a great soup day...then I saw a dip recipe for cheeseburger dip and suddenly had a craving for cheeseburger soup!

Happened to buy a new pot to us on an auction this year but hadn't really used it much till lately, really like it!

Burger browned with some onion

View attachment 651719

Drain the burger and set aside, then add butter, onion, carrots, parsley, basil...left the celery out...my wife doesn't care for cooked celery

View attachment 651720

Add chicken broth, taters, and burger back into pot...bring to a boil, reduce heat and cover and simmer until taters are tender.

In another pan melt butter and add flour to make a roux, then add to soup

Stir in Velveeta cheese, milk, salt and pepper to taste until cheese melts

View attachment 651723

We did add some bacon bits, no pics of course...but next time I'm thinking a lb would be a good start! Also some onion, garlic powder and some sazon goya seasoning. Removed from heat and added 1/2 cup sour cream.

Only thing missing was some homemade buns but it was still dang good! And I wanted more cheese!

View attachment 651726

Definitely hit the spot! My wife actually added ketchup and mayo to her bowl...boy did I give her a look! Still doesn't sound good but on bowl #2 I did as well...she wasn't wrong...it was good!

Take care and Merry Christmas all!

On a side note...ya think our puppy likes popcorn? She sits and waits for it to get done popping lol!

Thanks! I wouldn't mind a little cooler weather... been in the upper 90s, high humidity, and almost no breeze. Been in the sweet corn patch the last couple days. And yes, the pups like coming with me.
