Yummy Yummy! I used lean ground beef and no celery since I was making it with what I had on hand. It really hit the spot on a cold evening.

I made this for lunch today and it was so good. I love how healthy it is but also how delicious. It really hit the spot! Thanks for sharing. Made for Went to the Market tag game.

I was off sick from work and wanted some soup. I made this as directed other then I used ground beef instead of turkey or chicken as that is what I had on hand (and since I was sick I wasn't running to the store LOL) Nice hearty soup that I really enjoyed. Made for Fall PAC 2008.
