A nice basic soup recipe that needs more seasoning. I added onion and garlic to the ground round, V-8 juice, and more barley. These additions were nice but the soup is still a bit bland tasting. Close to Denny's soup but not quite there.

Taste was ok, but not even remotely close to Denny's soup. I LOVE their soup and this was not it. Still, this recipe was ok, but I'd say needs a little something.

This was just what I needed for dinner last night. I didn't have mixed veggies so I put in a little corn, a little green beans and a little peas. Worked great. I froze the leftovers.

This was very good! I keep 1/2 lb ziplock baggies of browned ground beef w/onion and garlic in my freezer. The remaining ingredients I usually have on hand in my pantry. Hubby works out of town during the week and this was a great easy fix dinner for me on a chilly, rainy day. I'm sure the leftovers will be even better tomorrow for lunch. I can't compare it to Denny's but I can say it is delicious for such a quick and easy recipe! Thank You for posting!

Denny's soups are just frozen condensed Campbell's Soup. I found this out just resently. A co-worker went to Denny's and thought the soup looked good, so she asked if they were made or frozen and they said frozen and she "oh poop" I get those at work, so she skipped the soup. We buy them in 2 liter containers.
