Hamburger Soup

Now that it is finally cooling down I just love having nice warm meals to eat. This my husbands favorite soup because it is pretty hearty. It is full of lots of flavor and lots of meat.

1 1/2 lbs cooked hamburger meat
1 cup chopped onion
4 cloves of minced garlic
4 Cups vegetable juice/broth
2 Cups water
1 1/2 Cups cubed potatoes
3 medium carrots chopped
1 Cup fresh green beans
1 can of corn
1 chopped Zucchini
2 chopped bell peppers
3 stalks of celery chopped
2 Tbsp. chicken bouillon
1 Tbsp. celery seeds
1tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. pepper
1 cup fresh chopped tomatoes
1 can of whole tomatoes

Brown hamburger meat. Usually when I cook hamburger meat I like it really fine, but for this meal I try to make it chunky by not separating it to much. In a large pot add the chopped onions and garlic. Cook until onions are slightly brown. Add cooked hamburger meat, vegetable juice, water, potatoes, carrots, green beans, zucchini, bell peppers celery, corn, bullion, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and tomatoes.

Heat to a boil and then lower to low. Cover and simmer until vegetables are tender. About 90 minutes.

Enjoy!
