This is a recipe that has similar ingredients of a stew my mother used to make, except she made the ground beef mixture into meatballs. I tweeked this recipe to match the one she used to make. I sauteed the garlic, onion, and 1/3 cup of chopped green bell pepper, until soft and the onions were translucent. Than I mixed up the ground beef with one egg, in a large plastic bag with a zipper. I kneaded the mixture, until the egg was combined with the ground beef. I added the sauteed garlic, onion, and bell pepper, and kneaded it all together until it was all mixed in well. I browned the meatballs in a little olive oil, just until browned. I finished cooking the meatballs in the can stewed tomatoes. The recipe is the same from here on. Taste just like my mom's...well almost! :)

This soup made lots and is a good way of working vegetables into your diet. I used frozen vegs. instead of the canned ones. The only thing I would change is add some seasoning as it is a little bit bland.

This is hands down the best soup recipe i have ever gotten off this site. It is delicious, nutritious, easy, filling and pretty good calorically. I added about 28 ounces of water to the 32 ounces of broth to make it a little soupier, along with a tsp. of salt and 1/2 tsp. black pepper. I have made it many, many times, and usually add a jalepeno pepper (left whole but with 2 slits cut in it) when browning the onions, etc. And then remove the jalepeno before adding the potatoes, etc.. It gives the soup a nice flavor.

I made this in my Slow cooker and made a few changes. Used celery Salt instead of the Celery Seed, added a packet of the Swanson Beef Flavor for extra flavor (had used 3 bouliion cubes before but was better with the Flavor packet) Another thing that really picked it up was I added a small head of Cabbage to it .. Really Great tasting.

This was so good. It got a little cold outside and this really hit the spot. I love the flavors in it. I did take the bay leaves out after I cooked the carrots and added some basil and a small amount of oregano and this really gave it some more flavor.

I was looking forward to this soup. I am from the Midwest and love comfort foods. However, this was bland. Kids thought it was OK, but not worth making again.

I give it 5 because the base flavor was really good and you could play around with the vegetable choices and ingredients to suit your own tastes. Unfortunately I had to throw it together in a pot instead of slow cooker but the flavor was still there. While the potatoes were cooking I added some rice and instead of green beans and peas I used spinach. It ended up being a really hearty and healthy meal.
