This soup tastes just like a classic All-American Cheeseburger from your favorite local diner! Use regular cheddar or Velveeta. Both are delicious but Velveeta captures that right off the grill from the diner or drive-through flavor. Toppings are almost limitless. I've offered a few suggestions for you below.
