My family liked this. I will make it in cooler months. I added fresh celery and 1 medium onion and used beef broth instead of water. It was very good. They guys just wanted saltines & bread!

Easy, healthy & delicious! I add a dollop of sour cream on top. If I don't have the cans of tomato sauce, I use chicken broth and add 2 taco seasoning packets and kidney beans to make it into a "TACO SOUP" and mmm. delicious! It's a very versatile recipe where you can add whatever veggies, fresh, frozen or canned and it tastes great! Add salt to taste. Cooking with onion also adds a great flavor.

This is seriously delicious. All it is missing is onion and garlic for a little bit more flavour. I added one onion and three cloves of garlic to the meat

Thanks for this hearty, easy recipe. I made a few changes and it turned out great. First, I sauteed a chopped onion and minced garlic with the ground beef. I used fresh carrots and frozen veg instead of canned (better texture and WAY less sodium). I didn't peel the potatoes either. No need. I added some fresh basil and dried oregano and let it simmer for a little longer so the carrots would be tender. Next time I might cook the carrots with the beef to carmelize them (AWESOME flavour enhancer). I served the soup with a grating of mozzarella on top and thick slices of russian rye bread. Very filling!

Good!!!!! I left out the tomato sauce, added some seasoning salt, garlic, basil and oregano. I think it might've been a touch on the bland side without the spices, but this is a keeper now!

Not a bad recipe for a quick easy meal. I use Rotel instead of the canned tomatoes to spice it up.

Good soup..even better the next day! A very forgiving recipe...I can see how you can change it up per your taste at the time, or the ingredients you have on hand. I used ground turkey instead of beef, omitted the green beans, used fresh carrots, and added onions and garlic. Turned out great! thanks!
