Hamburger Soup
Ingredients
- 1 Pound Ground Meat
- 8 Cups Water
- Salt, to taste
- Onion Salt, to taste
- 1 Large Onion, sliced and cut into half rings
- 3 to 4 Cups Tomato Juice
- Pepper, to taste
- 1/2 Package Wide Egg Noodles
Instructions
Put the meat in the water and bring to a boil. I prefer to brown the meat separately, drain it, and add it to the boiling water. Add the tomato juice, seasoning and onion and cook for 1/2 hour. After the basic cooking add the noodles. You can cook them separately and add them to the finished broth. Taste for final seasoning and serve with hot bread and a salad.
Notes from the kitchen
Adjustments and tips added over the years.
That's Gramie's version. It produces a lot of grease in the soup base.
Instead of the tomato juice, Uncle Richie uses V8. He may also substitute some of the water with a large can of tomato juice. His version is much richer than Gramie's. You'll have to experiment.
Gramie boiled the noodles in the soup. That reduces your broth.
