Hamburger Soup
This Hamburger Soup combines seasoned ground beef with finely chopped onions, carrots, celery, and tomatoes, simmered slowly with consomme, tomato soup, and barley. The addition of oregano, garlic, and a blend of herbs creates a robust flavor profile. It's a filling, nutritious meal that warms you from the inside out and freezes beautifully for future meals.
