Hamburger Soup

"This soup is delicious and fun to eat. My family makes a game out of finding the peppercorns. We collect all 10 in a small bowl to be certain that no one bites down on one."

Recipe

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 4 celery tops
  • 1 28-ounce can tomatoes
  • 3 14.5-ounce cans beef consommé, plus 2 cans water
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 4 carrots, diced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 10 peppercorns
  • 1/2 cup barley
  • 1 can black beans, drained (optional)

Melt butter in a large soup kettle. Sauté onion. Add beef and cook until slightly browned. Add all remaining ingredients, except barley and beans. Bring to a boil. Add barley and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally for about one hour. Add beans and heat through. Remove celery tops before serving. Serves 8 to 10.
