Main Course (Hamburger) Soup image

I did a search and found that there are oodles of recipes for hamburger soup on Recipezaar, but decided to post this one anyway because it's just too good not to share! I had a craving for it one recent rainy day and it sure hit the spot.

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups beef broth
1 (10 ounce) can tomato soup, diluted with one can of water
4 stalks celery, sliced
4 large carrots, peeled and sliced
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
1 bay leaf

Steps:

Fry ground beef and onion with salt and pepper until browned.
Add beef broth, tomato soup and water.
Add prepared veggies, parsley flakes and bay leaf and simmer until veggies are tender (15 to 20 minutes).
If you have any leftover tomatoes (fresh, frozen or canned) or tomato sauce add that while cooking the veggies.
Remove bay leaf and add a splash of cream before serving.
This soup is quite thick. For a thinner consistency add more beef broth or another tin of tomato soup.
