#12 Hamburger Soup

Another favourite from home!

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ lbs. ground hamburger, browned
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 celery stalks, chopped
• 4 large carrots, chopped
• 2 beef bullion cubes
• 1 tomato soup
• 1 28 oz can whole or diced tomatoes
• 4 cups water
• 8 tsp pot barley
• to taste salt and black pepper
• 1 bayleaf

Directions:

1. COMBINE all ingredients in a slow cooker.

2. SIMMER all day on low.

NOTES

This soup tastes better the day after being cooked. It also freezes nicely.

I like chunky soups so I sometimes add extra carrots or celery. I also sometimes add kernel corn, peas, or lentils. For some reason this soup is better the next day.
