Hamburger Soup (Real Comfort Food!) image

This has been in my family for ages - my grandmother used to make this during the depression. Don't let the simple ingredients turn you off--this is definitely more than it seems it should be. It seems that I crave this when I'm not quite feeling up to par. I love this with a nice slice or two of warm bread.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 -3 quarts water
1 -2 lb ground beef (You do NOT want the leanest beef for this)
2 -3 potatoes
1 -1 1/2 large carrot
1/2 onion
salt or pepper

Steps:

  • Dice the onion, carrot and potatoes and place in the pot of water.
  • Add a little salt and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes and carrot are tender.
  • Bring to a slow boil again, and sprinkle the uncooked beef into the soup.
  • Let cook for a few minutes to be sure the beef is done.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Enjoy!
  • I find that the more I make this, the more veggies I add. I now add celery with the carrot, onion and potato, and after it's done (beef is cooked), I'll add corn or peas, or leftover spinach/kale/greens whatever, even leftover rice or barley pilaf~~~Since being laid off 2 years ago, there's not an awful lot that I waste! And it still comes out great, and I still love the original one!
