Hamburger Soup

Directions

1. Cook 1 lb of ground beef until no longer pink. Drain.
2. Add and saute in 1 small onion, 1 cup chopped celery, and 1 cup chopped carrots until soft, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Season with 3/4 tsp garlic salt and 1/4 tsp celery salt. Add 1 can tomato soup, 1 can consomme soup, 2 medium diced/peeled potatoes, 1/4 cup of uncooked white rice, and 6 cups of water or beef broth (or combination of both). Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 20-25 minutes. The longer you let it simmer the more flavourful your soup will be. If you have time, you can let it simmer for up to an hour.
4. If you are adding macaroni, add in at end of cook time, bring back up to boil and cook for an additional 11 minutes.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve. You can eat this soup alongside a nice salad, sandwich, biscuit, or bun, but it is just as good and filling on its own.
