Hearty Cheeseburger Potato Soup Recipe

With the cold weather about to set in permanently, I’m craving comfort foods like crazy!  Times like this, I turn to tried-and-true family recipes to warm up my crew.  It’s tough to get my kids to eat soups  and they’d generally turn their nose up at potato soup in the past, but when I chose to add in a cheese blend and some hamburger – the scenario changed dramatically.  Now I had a flavorful soup that truly caught their attention and taste-buds with it’s cheeseburger-like characteristics.  Add a little bacon to the top and now we’re really talking my son’s language!

This year, when making my family-favorite soup, I was able to test the Xtrema 10 Qt Versa Ceramic Dutch Oven in our Rural Mom kitchen and truly love the results.  One of the most impressive features, to me, was the lightening fast clean-up. I was able to simply use hot water to rinse off any residue and then wash and dry for storage.  No scrubbing, no muss or fuss.  Good food and kitchen tools that deliver results with easy clean-up after is an excellent kitchen win for any mom.

A large Dutch oven is a fabulous kitchen tool to own. The Xtrema 10 Qt Versa Ceramic Dutch Oven is the largest ceramic dutch oven in the world. Boasting a 12 inch diameter and 6 inch height, it’s bigger than your standard slow cooker, but can be used for the same things – soups, sauces, stews, and many other one-pot dishes. It even comes with a lid so that you don’t get anything spilling over the sides.

The dutch oven is also extremely versatile – it can go from freezer to oven to dishwasher with no damage. It’s scratch resistant and the sleek black design will enhance any kitchen décor. The ceramic construction ensures durability and even heating, as well as the absence of any sort of chemicals leaching into your food during the cooking process. Each piece is handcrafted, so you can rest assured that you’re giving a quality gift that will last for years to come.
