Crockpot Hamburger Soup

Crockpot Hamburger Soup

- 10/9/2010: This was DELICIOUS and SO EASY (especially since I cook my ground beef and freeze it). I didn't add the diced tomatoes for obvious reasons, and I halved the recipe. I also only cooked it for 6 hours and added the green beans and potatoes a couple of hours before we were going to eat it. I think you could use real potatoes and just put them in from the start if you wanted too, but the canned ones worked just fine and were yummy. I really enjoyed it.

* 1 whole Onion, Chopped
* 2 pounds Hamburg, Fried
* 3 cans (14 Oz. Can) Beef Broth
* 2 cans (15 Oz. Can) Kidney Beans
* 2 cans (8 Oz. Can) Tomato Sauce
* 1 can 28 Oz. Can Diced Tomatoes
* 2 teaspoons Dried Parsley
* 1 teaspoon Dried Basil
* ½ teaspoons Thyme
* ¼ teaspoons Pepper
* ½ teaspoons Salt
* 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
* 1 can (14.5 Oz. Can) Diced Potatoes
* 1 can (14.5 Oz. Can) Green Beans, Diced Or String

Add all ingredients to a crock pot, except the potatoes and green beans. Cook on low for about 6 hours, stirring about every 30 minutes or so.

After the 6 hours, add the diced potatoes (drained) and the green beans (drained), and cook for another 2 hours on low.

Serve with crackers or bread, whichever you prefer. The spices in this recipe complement the ground beef, and it is really good. Believe me, before I tried, I never thought a soup made with ground beef would have any flavor.
