Old Fashion Recipe For a Hearty Hamburger Soup That Makes an Easy, Tasty and Inexpensive Meal

There is nothing better, in my opinion, than a hearty bowl of soup. I love soup and would eat it everyday if I didn't have a husband who has to have his meat and potatoes meals! But I especially love soups in the fall and on cold winter days. Now that September has rolled back around, my thoughts are turning more and more to soups. If you are like me, and enjoy a good cup or bowl of soup, here is a recipe from my vintage recipe collection that you might want to try. Hearty Hamburger Soup is easy and inexpensive using ground beef, vegetables, and rice to combine into a very tasty soup. The ground beef takes on a richness when browned in the butter. The soup is chocked full of healthy vegetables including potatoes, celery, tomatoes, corn, carrots, and cabbage. The rice adds a special touch and also adds a grain to the ingredients. Serve this soup with a crusty rolls or hot cornbread for a hearty, inexpensive meal. Add a salad and dessert if you desire.

HEARTY HAMBURGER SOUP

1 tbsp butter
2 lbs ground beef
2 quarts boiling water
2 cups diced potatoes
1 cup diced celery
2 cups tomatoes
1 cup corn
1 cup diced carrots
2 cups shredded cabbage
2 onions, diced
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup rice

Melt butter in a skillet and add ground beef. Brown the beef, drain and pour into a large saucepan or a dutch oven. Add the water and bring to a boil. Add the vegetables and rice then the seasonings. Simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours to cook the vegetables and allow the flavors to mesh.

Enjoy!
