Cheeseburger Soup

I *LOVE* this soup!! It's so good! It's easy, the flavor is great, and it's very hearty! Marley declared it tasted like Halloween!! Which must be a good thing because she cleaned her bowl!

I have made this in the crockpot too. Just throw every thing but the sour cream in, stir, and cook on low 6-8 hours. Stir in the sour cream right before serving.
