1 pound lean ground beef

6 potatoes, diced

1 onion, chopped

1 cup chopped celery

1 (10.5 ounce) can beef broth

2 cups mixed vegetables

¼ tablespoon dried basil

½ pound bacon - cooked and crumbled

Instructions

In a large stock pot place beef, potatoes, tomatoes, onion, celery, broth and vegetables. Add enough water to cover ingredients, cover pot and cook over medium heat for 1 hour or until vegetables are soft and beef is cooked through.

Season to taste with salt and pepper, rosemary, thyme and basil. Add bacon bits, stir and serve.

Description

This soup is described as one where you just use whatever veggies you have in the refrigerator. I followed the list of ingredients and it was very good.

Servings

4-6

Notes

I feel that there is nothing better in the winter than watching football games on TV and having homemade soup and bread. This ones fills the bill. I will add rice or an orzo type pasta the next time that I make it. I know, potatoes and another startch....but it's soup! The bacon was a nice "add" but not necessary. There is plenty of flavor in the soup.
