Hamburger Soup Recipe

This hamburger soup recipe comes from my friends Gail and Duane.

I think of them with a smile each time I make this recipe, and that's quite often.

This soup recipe makes about 10 servings, although it's so good you can't count on it really serving 10 people. They'll be like my friends, back for more and more.

1 1/2 lb lean ground beef
1 medium onion chopped fine
1 28oz can diced tomatoes
2 cups water
3 cans beef consomme soup
4 carrots, chopped fine
1 bay leaf
3 stalks celery, chopped fine
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 cup pearl barley
parsley, salt & pepper to taste

Brown meat and drain off fat. Add onion and sauté about 3 minutes.

Combine all ingredients in large 5 quart pot or crockpot and simmer for a minimum 2 hours. If you are using a crock pot you can cook it all day.

Makes 18 ladles & freezes well.

These nifty square bowls would also work well for serving appetizers. Over & Back Set of 6 Squares Square Soup Bowls

• I have added a small can of kernel corn to give it some colour. Try anything else that strikes your fancy.

I love these fresh looking soup bowls from Spode. Just think of them with an inviting soup or sweet dessert in them. Spode 9-in. Floral Haven Soup Plate
