This soup is great. I have sent e-cards with this recipe to a few members of my family including my loving mother. It's quick and easy to prepare and even quicker to eat. If by chance there are leftovers, it will be better the next day. The only change that I make and that I recommend is doubling the servings. You'll be glad you did. (Also, it is the perfect dip for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich:)

Delicious and easy! I doubled the meat and used beef broth instead of water as the other reviewers suggested and it was great.

This is so easy to make and it taste so delicious, I add brown sugar instead of white sugar. I usually get up in the morning make it and allow it to cook all day on low in a crock pot.

I NEVER make this sort of thing. The closest is chili. My family was very scared when they saw it and asked for very small helpings. Everyone wanted seconds and one of my daughters said "how come this is so good?" I followed what others had suggested. Beef broth instead of water, 1# beef instead of 1/2 and I browned the hamburger with a med onion and several cloves of garlic. Great recipe!

Best vegetable soup I've ever ate! I did add some of my own character to the recipe, a pinch more of this, a pinch more of that, for example...but I was very pleased with the final result. My husband isn't a huge beef fan, so I cooked a sirloin roast in the crock pot and added that to the pot for the meat. It tasted great! I will be making this again.

This is delicious! We will be making this again. While I was cooking the hamburger I added onion soup mix. Instead of potatoes I added Alphabet's pasta. Everyone gobbled it up including my toddler boys. Thanks

This is the easiest and most delicious beef vegetable soup I have ever made. My husband loved it, which makes it a keeper in my box. I used beef broth instead of water, and doubled the meat like other reviewers suggested. Delicious!

I was very pleased with this recipe. Tasted like it had been simmering for hours. I may go less with the onion soup mix next time if my husband lets me, he loved it just the way it was! Thanks for a great recipe.

A hearty and tasty beef-veggie soup, though using 2 cups beef broth PLUS some additional water is mandatory to keep the soup from getting too thick. (I used some mini-stars pasta and probably used a bit too much...I'll try barley or kidney beans next time.) I seasoned the ground beef with salt & pepper during browning (use a full pound as it's been suggested!), and I doctored the soup with garlic salt and crushed red pepper near the end.

This soup is so good. I am not big on soup, so when I eat it I want corn bread or something else to go with it. But this stuff, I can eat by itself and be happy. I LOVE IT!

Great flavor, good choice for a cold day. I took others advice and doubled the groud beef, used beef broth instead of water, fresh veggies, except for the peas & corn, and 1 small can of undrained kidney beans. (nice addition) I also cooked 1 c of orzo on the side and added it to the soup when served. Didn't want the orzo to overcook. Your choice of extra spices is always a nice touch!

I thought this was a wonderful tasting soup and was very easy to put together. I work full-time and I'm always looking for meals that taste like you've slaved over them but only take 30 mins or less. Great served with grilled cheese sandwiches or just some good italian or sourdough bread/rolls. I did double the meat and also doubled the water and tomato sauce and added a can of kidney beans - also very good.

This is amazingly good! I took the suggestion and used a pound of ground beef. I also used two cans of low sodium beef broth instead of water...big difference! I threw in a handful of ditalini pasta just to make it extra hearty. Yummy!!!! The onion soup mix is a GREAT addition! Thank you SO much for sharing this fabulous recipe! We will be making this a lot this winter!!!!

Delicious and so easy! We used beef boullion like the others suggested, and we like things spicy so added 1/2 tsp. garlic powder, 1/2 tsp. onion powder, 1/2 tsp. pepper and 2 tsp. sugar. We love to dip our bread and butter in the tasty broth. Delicious! Thanks for a great recipe!
