Updated 10/31/14: My friend Megan and I've discovered that you can adapt this soup easily to the contents of your pantry/freezer. We both have added bouillon or chicken broth to the water (if using a can of chicken broth, simply add it first and then add water as needed). I had some leftover green beans but no potatoes when I made the version pictured above. It's also good with a sprinkling of shredded cheese on top.
Busy Day Soup (aka Mean Soup)
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 c. chopped onion
- 1 c. sliced carrots
- 1 c. chopped celery
- 1 c. cut-up potatoes
- 1 (14.5-oz) can whole or diced tomatoes, undrained
- 2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- pinch of basil (or several shakes!)
- water
Brown beef and onions. Add remaining ingredients. Add enough water to cover vegetables. Cook for 30 minutes or till vegetables are tender.
