Hearty Hamburger Soup

From: Food.com

Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef
1 white onion, peeled and diced
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp dry oregano
1/2 tsp dry basil
1/4 tsp seasoning salt
1 envelope onion soup mix
6 cups water, more to desired consistency
1 8-oz can tomato sauce
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 15-oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 15-oz can corn, drained
1 cup celery, sliced
1/4 cup celery leaves, coarsely chopped
1 cup fresh carrot, sliced
1 cup white potato, peeled and cut into small cubes
garlic salt, to taste
parmesan cheese, to serve
sour cream, to serve



  • Brown ground beef and onion in a large pot. Drain if needed.
  • Add spices and onion soup mix.
  • Stir in water, tomato sauce and soy sauce. Bring to a boil; then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients up to the potatoes; bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer uncovered until potatoes and carrots are tender, about 30 minutes. (Add more water if needed).
  • Season to taste with garlic salt.
  • Serve with shredded parmesan cheese and sour cream.

What I did differently:
I left out the onion soup mix because they were out at the store the day I went. I didn't do the celery leaves because I bought pre-cut celery sticks (convenience, hello!) Other than that, I didn't change a thing.

Verdict:
Thumbs up! Oh yeah, this was a GREAT soup, and so easy to make! The flavors blended perfectly. I love a good vegetable beef soup and this one did not disappoint!

Garden Vegetable Soup

From: North Cobb Christian School's cookbook

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 package Hamburger Helper (cheeseburger macaroni)
5 cups water
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 16-oz stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 16-oz can Veg-All undrained



Cook and stir ground beef and onion in Dutch oven until done, drain. Stir in sauce mix, water, basil, salt, pepper and tomatoes. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Stir in macaroni and Veg-All. Cover and cook until macaroni is tender, 10-15 minutes longer.


What I did differently from the recipe:

Used venison instead of beef, made stewed tomatoes rather than bought them, and added okra because we had so much in our garden.

What I'll do differently next time:
Not sure.

Verdict:
Neutral. It was okay, I love this type of soup, but I think the mix from the Hamburger Helper gave it a slightly odd flavor. If I made it again I would probably try to find something to replace that.

Vegetable Beef Barley Soup

Ingredients
1/2 lb ground beef
1 can (14.5 oz) stewed tomatoes, undrained, cut up
1 can (14 oz) beef broth
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
1/2 cup uncooked quick-cooking barley


In a saucepan, cook ground beef over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until thoroughly cooked; drain. Stir in remaining ingredients. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables and barley are tender.

What I did differently from the recipe:
I substituted venison for the beef. Other than that, I did everything by the recipe.

What I'll do differently next time:
I may leave the barley out. In my opinion, it doesn't really add anything.

Verdict:
Thumbs up! Can a recipe get any easier than this? And it's the perfect comfort food!
