Hearty Soup

This soup is so good!

Hearty Soup

Ingredients
  • 1 lb. lean hamburger or ground turkey
  • 12 oz. diced potatoes
  • 1/2 c. each carrots, celery & onions, chopped
  • 4 oz. rice
  • 4 tsp. butter or margarine
  • 1-28 oz. can tomatoes, quartered, w/ juice
  • 1/2 large head cabbage, cut into wedges
  • 1-1/2 quarts water
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper
Directions
  1. In margarine, sauté cooked hamburger, carrots, celery, onion and rice until vegetables are tender.
  2. Add remaining ingredients.
  3. Simmer 3 to 4 hours

Serve with biscuits - made with half whole wheat flour.  

For best results, make this soup they day before you want to serve it. Refrigerate it overnight and reheat the next day - it's better that way and continues to improve every time you reheat it!

Measurement tip: 1 lb. diced potatoes = about 4 cups.  So for the 12 oz. needed in this recipe, you will need 3 cups.
