Is there anything better than a big juicy bacon cheeseburger? Your mouth just started watering a little bit…..didn’t it?

This soup delivers that same mouth watering taste, but in the form of an easy peasy crockpot recipe.
Luckily for my vegetarian hubby, this Crockpot Bacon Cheeseburger Soup can easily be made vegetarian using soy crumbles.

Ingredients: Crockpot Bacon Cheeseburger Soup
1 lb ground beef (or soy crumble for vegetarians)
1 cup onions, diced
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
5 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled (or soy bacon for vegetarians)
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1 cup carrots, shredded
2 cups potatoes, cubed
8 oz cream cheese, cubed
4 cups chicken broth (or veggie broth for vegetarians)
1/4 cup flour
1 cup milk
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp pepper
