Hamburger Potato Soup
Crystal Miller
1 lb. Hamburger, cooked and drained
Potatoes, peeled and chopped- as many as you desire based on how many people you
are serving
Onions, chopped, amount desired – cook these with the hamburger
Celery, sliced, amount desired –can cook with hamburger
Sliced carrots, amount desired
2 cans green beans – or fresh
1 can corn or 2 cups frozen corn
2 cans diced tomatoes
2 to 4 cups cooked beans, red or pintos are my choices or equivalent canned
beans
Water, enough to cover potatoes
Chicken or vegetable broth base
Salt and pepper to taste
Spike or seasoning salt
Basic instructions:
Cook hamburger with onions and celery in large soup pot. Add peeled and chopped
potatoes and sliced carrots. Cover with water and add broth base and any other
seasonings you would like (garlic is a great choice). Bring to boil and simmer
until potatoes are fork tender. Add green beans, tomatoes, corn and beans.
Cook for a few additional minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste. Serve with corn
bread, fresh homemade bread or rolls.
This soup is incredibly versatile. You can pretty much use any type of
vegetable you would like or have on hand and make what ever amount will fit your
family size. If you are making a small amount of soup, you could get by with
less than 1 pound of hamburger.
