‘Girl Meets Farm’: Molly Yeh’s Warm and Comforting Cheeseburger Potato Soup Is a Perfect Weekend Meal
The perfect weekend meal consists of a bite that is easy to prepare and comforting to eat. It’s the type of meal that is not rushed, that can be lingered over when the busyness of the workweek is done. Girl Meets Farm star Molly Yeh has developed a one-dish meal that combines everything to love about a leisurely meal into a satisfying dinner. The Food Network star crafted a warm and comforting soup that is a perfectly satisfying meal.
What is Cheeseburger Soup?
Cheeseburger Soup appears to be a flavorful midwestern staple that incorporates some of the same ingredients as a standard cheeseburger in a one-bowl meal.
This soup is the perfect comfort food for a cold winter night! It’s a fun cross between chicken soup and cheeseburgers.
All this tasty and filling soup needs is some crusty bread to dip into the soup and a side salad.
Although the soup is rich on its own, you can add toppings of bacon, sliced green onion, sour cream, or all!
On a season 8 episode of Girl Meets Farm titled “Nick’s Horn Show and the Late-Night Munchies,” Yeh featured three other fun recipes to attack the late-night munchies.
She paired Veggie Supreme Pizza Bagels alongside loaded Cheesy Pickle Nachos. For dessert, adorable Iced Dinosaur Cookies.
