What are your favorite soups?

47. My fav is Hamburger Soup.

Side note: One thing that I like about Hamburger Soup is that it's versatile and things can be mixed up, omitted or added to it, including pasta. I use to make this with sliced celery and replaced celery with green papers. I have never went back to using celery. I keep diced sweet onion and diced green peppers in separate plastic containers in the freezer and grab what I need and put what I don't need back into the freezer. Also, I never measure anything while making this soup, I always eyeball it. This can be made in a crockpot as well.



I slice roughly 1.5 Cups of carrots. I place about 2 TBSP of extra virgin oil olive in a pan and let it warm on a low setting. I place the carrots and about 2 TBSP of diced onions and diced green peppers in the pan and saute and stir for about 5 minutes. I then add 32 ounces of beef broth and between 4-6 ounces of tomato sauce into a 6 quart stockpot, then I add the sauteed onions and peppers into the stockpot.



While the broth is on low, I take a bag of frozen corn out of the freezer and heat up half of the bag and place the rest back into the freezer. I also skin 3 large potatoes and dice the potatoes. I add the corn and potatoes to the broth.


I take a separate pan and brown a pound of hamburger and drain it. I add the browned hamburger to the broth a let the soup simmer on low and stir frequently. I usually add another 16 ounces of beef broth after added the hamburger.

This soup feeds the 2 of us for 2 nights straight as it makes a large amount of soup and can be frozen in smaller containers. I have plans to make this tomorrow night, so I'll try to remember to take photos and post them.
