I hate to register on websites (tons of junk mail) but I just had to register here so I could come and write a review for this specific recipe. I found this recipe months and months ago and we have used it at least once a month! This is a staple meal in our family. I'm sure my son will go off to college and come home to ask for this meal. Thanks for taking the time to share this recipe with us!

This was ok, but we all felt it was missing something - I think next time I'll add some noodles or rice or barley. Good flavor, will try again!

I've never written a review on here but I thought I would write one for this recipe. The soup came out better than expected. I used cabbage instead of celery (because that's what I had) and 2 cans of chicken broth - low sodium and 1 cup of water with some chicken bouillon cubes to try to make up for the third. I didn't have a small can of crushed tomatoes so I put in a large (14.5oz) can of diced tomatoes w/ mushroom and garlic. I added a few shakes of cayenne and 2 diced potatoes and it still came out really good. I didn't do the second step (the thickening) but I think it was top notch without it. I had never had/made a soup with hamburger meat but this one is a keeper. As soon as my husband ate a spoonful he said "Mmm... this is really good, I hope you remember this recipe!"

This is an awesome soup that is easily "tweaked" for ingredients you have on hand. I omit the tomatoes in favor of tomato sauce. I also add quick cooking barley in the last 30 min of cooking to thicken it up a bit. So delicious! Great cold night soup!

This soup was great. I did add two cans of diced tomatoes just out of personal preference and because it was on hand. I have made this soup more than once, and we love it! Apart from a little quick chopping, it is not time-consuming, and it lends itself well to leftovers if you're not feeding a small army as we are. It's really a keeper, especially for lunch on cold winter days!

This recipe is awesome! Just like my grandma used to make! We added two potatoes and also used a can of diced tomatoes and a can of crushed tomatoes (instead of one of crushed)....but otherwise followed the recipe to a tee. My fiance said he kept thinking to himself... "what could make this better" but couldn't think of a thing. Very tasty!

I had some hamburger and wanted to do something a little different then what I usually do with it, so I came across this recipe. It was very good. My father absolutely loved it. :) It just needed a little something extra. The next time I make it, I think I'll add some potatoes and see what happens.

I don't usually like vegetable beef soup, but this was good. Tastes a lot better than it smells. I added a pack of yellow rice mix just because I felt it needed something else. Like other reviewers, I didn't see the need to add the thickener.

Really tastey soup. I browned the burger then, after draining, added it to the other ingredients in a crock pot. I also added some diced potatoes and chopped cabbage (personal preference). It simmered all night and is a wonderful soup. I didn't add the thickening and am not sure whether it is really needed. The consistency without is that of a vegetable soup.

Very tasty. My husband called and asked what was for dinner, and when I told him "hamburger soup," there was a pause, after which he asked me if he should pick something up on his way home. He ended up really liking it, and asked me to put it on our regular repetoire. I added a little less (low-sodium) chicken broth (32 oz), and found that it turned out just fine. I also didn't have any hot sauce, so I put in a few shakes of cayenne pepper (not too much, or my 3 year old wouldn't eat it). Flavors blended nicely, and I'm looking forward to making it again.

This recipe was the bomb! My husband and I just loved it. The only thing I did different was I used ground turkey and a larger can of diced tomatoes instead of the smaller can of crushed. Also, to make it a bit healthier I used only half of the amount of butter and flour. The soup was still very flavorful but with half the calories and fat. Thanks Sandra for for giving my family such a superb recipe!

This soup is wonderful!!! The only thing I changed the second time I made it was to use lower-sodium broth. It was too salty with regular. Otherwise, it is AWESOME!!
