Family Hamburger Soup - 6 points

Here is an easy soup recipe from Pillsbury. I love a good beef vegetable soup on a chilly day like the one we had today in Tennessee. This soup has the decency to work equally well by following the directions below or by slow cooking in a crock pot. I do appreciate versatility in a soup.

Family Hamburger Soup- adapted from Pillsbury Annual Recipes 2008

1/4 cup chopped onion

2 cups potatoes, diced or shredded

1 cup sliced celery

1 bag frozen mixed vegetables

5 cubes chicken bouillon

5 cups water

1 can diced tomatoes, undrained

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1. In a large saucepan, cook ground beef and onion over medium high heat 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain.

2. Stir in remaining ingredients. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 18 to 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.

3. Yields 7, 6 point servings
