Notes

  • According to my Aunt Wanda, this is a stew that gets better each time it's reheated!
  • Feel free to add other seasonings or spices.
  • This soup is a great way to use up odds and ends vegetables!
  • You can make this in a slow cooker too! Just brown the ground beef and add all of the ingredients to a slow cooker on LOW for about 6-8 hours.
