Hamburger Soup (Real Comfort Food!) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

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!
