Not only is this soup really good & easy to prepare, but it's super cheap to make!! I made several modifications: 1 lb gr beef, beef broth instead of water, only 1/2 tsp sugar, and added 1/2 c red wine, 2 tsp garlic powder, 1 can sliced potatoes, and some pepper. I'll definitley make this again! :)

I was a little apprehensive that this soup would not have much flavor, but was pressed for time, so decided to try it. I browned the ground beef with onions and fresh garlic. Instead of water, I used beef broth and also added a 1/4 cup of white wine. I added frozen mixed vegetables with pasta shells. I also didn't have any tomato sauce, but had pizza sauce, so used that instead. This soup turned out very delicious! Even my finicky 7-year-old and 3-year-old loved it. Thank you for a quick, but delicious soup.

An elderly friend gave me this recipe years ago. I have made it many, many times. It is one of my favorite soup recipes. My family loves it. I am making it for supper tonight in my crockpot. I can't wait to get home to eat a big bowl on this cold, cold day.

Very little work and time for such great taste. Versatile recipe too. I used bite-sized pieces of stew beef, a 16oz bag of stew veggies, and diced tomatoes with onions, garlic and basil added, and it was yummy.

This was a good, easy soup. I added a little Chili powder to give it extra flavor. I also doubled the hamburger, as suggested by someone else, and was pleased with the result.

Everyone loved this except my husband who thought it had too much of a tomato flavor. I doubled the ground beef and added more water.

This soup was good and very easy and quick. I used leftover beef from roast and other leftover vegetables. I also added a little more sugar and a little granulated beef boullion. Very good taste with little effort.

This recipe was really easy and really tasty too. However, instead of using water, I substitued beef broth and added potatoes!

An easy and delicious way to use leftover hamburger meat. I browned my ground beef with minced garlic and onions and also added a touch of red wine to the recipe. The family loved it!
