Hamburger Soup
Cold weather is upon us. Comfort food is a must. I love seeing the leaves turning colours, cooler nights for sleep, but salads get pushed aside for cozier foods. Here is one of them.
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 4 garlic cloves or 1 tsp of garlic powder
- 19 ounce can (540ml) of chopped tomatoes
- 10 oz can (284 ml) tomato soup (preferably sodium reduced)
- 1 tsp worchestershire sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups of low sodium beef broth (I use campbell)
- 3 medium carrots peeled and sliced (relatively thin)
- 1 cup chopped cabbage
Directions
- In a large pot or dutch oven, brown the meat and drain off excess fat.
- Add onions and garlic and cook on low heat until onions are tender.
- Add tomatoes, tomato soup, worchestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and broth.
- Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Add the vegetables and simmer for an additional 30 minutes.

This is an easy soup that is both nutritious and low calorie. It can be served as an appetizer or as a main course. We had it as a main course and it made 6 bowls. You can serve it with a nice sunflower and flax seed bread (see recipe), white bread (see recipe) or country biscuits (see recipe).
Overall, it was a nice comfort food for a cooler night. If you want it spicy, you can add a little cayenne pepper to taste. You can add extra veggies like frozen corn. Possibilities are endless, so have fun and make it your own.
