Homemade soup is so much better than canned. This one is easy. It makes a big pot, so you can freeze the extra for another meal. I’ve got leftovers of this going into the crockpot for our dinner tonight. Cooking once and eating twice is always nice!
Gather up your ingredients:
I modified this recipe a bit from the way my mom gave it to me. I thought the modified version tasted better, but I’ll give you the original ingredient list too.
2 – 2 1/2 lbs. hamburger
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 can beef broth (I used 2 to make it richer)
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can tomato sauce
2-3 cans Veg-All, drained (I used 2 cans undrained)
1/2 cup or more of barley or rice
1/2 cup or a big squirt of ketchup
8 cups water (I only used 5 since I added a can of beef broth and didn’t drain the veggies)
Brown the hamburger, onion and green pepper together. Drain and rinse under hot water to remove the grease. Put back in a large soup pot and add all the other ingredients. Bring it to a boil and let it cook a few minutes or simmer it for a few hours. I was in a hurry and used the boil method.
I served it with Cheddar Muffins.

I make a similar soup quite often and it is so yummy. I am going to try your recipe. Thanks for posting it.
Sounds very good…I have ground beef in the fridge and I’m going to make this soup with it. Thanks!
MMMMM…I love these easy soups- and you’re right, so much better than the canned variety!
This sounds so easy to make and just reading about it makes my mouth start to water…yum yum
Umm now I am liking your soup Tiffany. I love hamburger soup so this will make me happy.
Yum…I love this kind of stuff
This sounds so good – I love soups like this, they’re basically an entire meal in one pot!

Oh delish!! That looks lovely!
Tiffany, this sounds like a tasty recipe…I wonder if it would work with the fake ground beef (“Yves if you please” is the brand) that I’ve been using lately. Chili comes out well with the fake meat, so I imagine this soup might work.
Also, thanks for commenting on my Six-Word Saturday entry the other day!
