This soup is like childhood memories ladled into a bowl, for me.
So good, so simple. Just all around YUM! Really healthy too. Look at the ingredients...Nothing bad at all. I use either 94/6, hamburger or ground turkey in the soup...because it is marinating in the liquid, it doesn't dry out at all. It is wonderful!
Also, I use the Healthy Request soup from Campbell's. Lower sodium, fat, and NO MSG!
The recipe was passed on to my mom back in 1963. YUP...1963
Hamburger Soup
1 pound of lean ground beef
3 cups tomato juice (100% tomato juice from the juice aisle)
1 cup water
2 cans cream of celery soup
1/8 tsp marjoram
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups shredded carrots
Brown the hamburger in a large pot big enough for soup.
In a separate bowl, mix the celery soup with water.
Add the tomato juice to the hamburger.
Add the combined soup and water mixture.
Stir well until combined.
Add spices.
Let simmer 20 minutes.
Add the shredded carrots and let simmer another 10 minutes.
There are other add-ins that I have toyed with. Onions, and mushrooms. Also adding cheese and/or sour cream on top is quite tastey.
Eat it with a nice crusty piece of bread and you will be even happier.
It is like having a hamburger in a bowl!

This time...I made this flatbread. It from a Weight Watchers cookbook...and it was really good.
BUT
Nothing beats the torn off pieces of french bread!
