Recipesfull introduces to you: Cinco de Mayo Recipes. (Cheeseburger and Pickle Soup Recipe). This is a classic cheeseburger soup but with a unique twist; adding dill pickles. It sounds a little strange but if you love dill pickles on your cheeseburger, this recipe is a must! I had it at a restaurant once and fell in love, and I've been perfecting it ever since. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and/or more pickles - I like more chopped pickles in mine, personally.
