CHEESEBURGER BROCCOLI CHOWDER

Cheeseburger Broccoli Chowder image

I invented this soup accidentally! Actually, it came about when I was new to cooking, and didn't know that "chowder" was a kind of soup-so I made mashed potatoes to go with the dish I was making. We ended up dunking our mashed potatoes into the soup as "gravy"-and it was delicious!-Karen Davies, Wanipigow, Manitoba
