RE: Yummy Hamburger Soup Post by msettamae2 (43) | (10/07/2006) Contact My Mother's Hamberger Stew (I've tweeked it some) 1-1 1/2 lbs hamberger 1/2 onion,chopped 1/2 green bellpepper, chopped In a big pot add all of above and saute until hamberger is browned, drain, put back in pot. Add rest of ingredients except cabbage. Add: 1 can stewed tomatoes 1-8oz can tomato sauce 2 cups potatoes. cubed 1 heaping cup carrots or 1 can, do not drain 1 can green beans, do not drain 1/2 pkg dry spagetti mix or 1-2 tbsps taco seasoning Salt, pepper and other seasonings of your choice (I use garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley and 2 bay leaves, remove bay leaves before eating.) And water if necessary to cover 1/2" above, can always add more. Mix and stir well. Add 1/4 head chopped,(not to small) green cabbage, don't stir the cabbage in. Bring to boil and turn heat down,simmer until the potatoes are done. If it isn't as thick as you like, thicken with instant potatoes. Can be made in a crockpot. Even better reheated the next day. Feeds a bunch. :) :)
