"This recipe is in about its third or fourth generation, passed down from Grandma to Mom to Me. It became my children's favorite, and now my grandchildren love it. It was a staple in each household, with or without the hamburger. The children named it "Belly Buster" because they always ate too much when we had it. Freezes well."

Ingredients: Spanish onions, lean hamburger...

"This soup is very comforting as well as tasty and full of vegetables. Great for those cold winter days or those suffering from or recovering from a cold. It's also good just any ol' time! It freezes reasonably well, though the potatoes get an odd texture to me after doing so. This recipe makes plenty soup, so don't be stingy! Get a second..."
