So, finally, I've had a little bit of time and haven't felt like doing nothing so I made some soup today! It was inspired by my mom's recipes for cheeseburger and hamburger soup.
1.5# ground beef
2 med sized carrots, peeled and chopped into small cubes
2 stalks of celery, chopped into small cubes
1/2 yellow onion, cut in a small dice
1/2bag of egg noodles
5c beef broth
2c frozen peas
1c sour cream
salt
pepper
1. Brown hamburger and add the first 3 veggies as you get them cut. Also season with salt and pepper.
2. Once meat is browned, spoon off excess grease/fat.
3. I use beef broth base so I boiled the water in a kettle, then added the base to the meat and veggies and added the hot water (this way the base doesn't get chunky and stuff, the hot water "melts" it into the water).
4. Bring soup to a boil, check your seasonings.
5. Add egg noodles and peas. Cook until noodles are al dente.
6. Stir in sour cream at the end.
7. Top with shredded cheese and oyster crackers!
Super easy and yummy! I know it's not a very good picture but hopefully it looks appetizing enough that you'll want to try it! :) I also considered adding some sweet corn kernels but didn't get to! Add whatever veggies you like and have on hand! It's a good way to use up things!
EDIT: Ok, darn thing won't let me post a picture! Anyway, it's delicious. Trust me. :)
