Everyone has their favorite soup recipe but with snowstorm Pax bearing down on us, I thought now would be a great time to share mine!  Soup is one of the first things I learned how to make when I was young…probably because you can literally do anything with it and it is so versatile.  Plus, a newbie cook always feels like they are doing something special when they are browning up onions and ground beef! (Love that smell!)

I eat this soup year round…as a matter of fact, if my husband is out of town, it is a must on my menu (except that I substitute one of his least favorite ingredients…ground turkey).  Gourmet?…not this soup!  Tasty?…very much so!  I use lots of shortcuts so I can whip this up quickly and I definitely change it up from time to time so feel free to experiment with your favorite veggies…
