Wow, that is a walk down memory lane. Every Saturday, my mother would make a soup like that but she used stew meat. Summer winter did not matter this was what we had. We were always outside playing. The storm sirens were always tested every Saturday at noon. When that siren sounded we knew the soup was ready. And I sure did look forward to that soup every Saturday. Thank you.

[@paulamcclellan8436]

I'm 69 my mom made hamburger stew , lots of veggies & diced potatoes & ketchup .

[@annedebrams007]

HAHA you made me recall that Lots of ketchup tpo lolll was darn good tho better than the canned soup today by far.

[@bq1428]

This is the first dinner that my autistic daughter learned to make. Now, I'm trying to add cornbread witch she doesn't like changes even to meals🤪😜 have to love her❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏😉🐾

[@marciabaum1253]

My kids didn’t like cornbread either. on jiffy package I had a recipe for Johnny cake. So I told him I was making Johnny cake and they ate it. Lol

[@marilyncarr6630]

Make this at least once or twice a month. Always delicious regardless of type of vegetables added. Sometimes if I don’t have tomato sauce I use a large can of V8 or tomato juice. Yum

[@michele_290]

Yummy! Your soup looks delicious... we've had ham and bean soup this past week... and yesterday I made creamy potato soup... this will be my next soup to make! Enjoy the warm weather! We are thawing out now from our 10" of snow we've had in the last couple of days! I made your BBQ ribs for dinner today and omg... they fell off the bones! Take care!

[@sharonholmes4444]

V8 juice is always better...more nutritious and I'm also using potatoes instead of pasta. Love this Souper recipe! 😋

[@Tinker5051]

Yes V8 also makes a real good Chili

[@josephshehan4969]

You can change the tomato sauce for beef or chicken stock.??😊just saying? 😊

[@annviviano6323]

If you want it more brothy cook your pasta separately and add it after it’s cooked. Also the spices you added it - try rubbing them between your hands when adding them and you won’t have the spices floating on top. It’s something my mother always did.

[@MicheleWalkerWebb]

Brilliant, thank you

[@llkid6760]

I recognize this as Hamburger Soup. I got the recipe in 1970 out of my Betty Crocker cookbook. My nubby loved it...that was 54 years ago. We still love the soup...and each other. 😂 I enjoy your channel and have made lots of your recipes. Thank you both. ❤❤❤ Blessings.

I grew up eating this soup and now crave it when I am sick. It is just so good! We used potatoes and no pasta.

Thyme and Basil would be awesome in that soup. Even little touch rosemary I might even think about putting a small Bayleaf in there. I believe in herbs and they’re so good for you and keep you from getting sick.

Sometimes a group of us would get together and make a version of this, everyone bringing whatever they could, and we called it Stone Soup Gathering.... always liked the stone soup story as a kid. When I brought this personal little tradition with me to live in a new state I was rather surprised to realize that not everyone was familiar with that story

Just read this story to my grandkids and we allowed them to each choose their favorite ingredient (there were 6 ingredients) that soup was sooo good the kids loved it.

[@ArelineHazlewood]

Just watched you making Poor Man's Soup. It Iooked delicious. I have made it once and loved it. I went exactly by your recipe and it turned out great.. I have been watching you & Melissa for awhile now, and really enjoy your "Cooking Show". It's so nice to be able to have the recipe as you watch it being made. My sister bought me your Cook Book and I love looking thru that at the different recipes. Several reminded of how I learned to cook from our Mother. She taught all 6 of us girls to cook thru the years. I may try the Chocolate Pie with Meringue tomorrow. Keep up all the good cooking. One of my sister's thought your LASANGA was the best I'd ever made. Made just exactly by your recipe.

Mom used to make this all the time. I’m from southern Illinois and always had a huge garden. Therefore every vegetable came from there. Oh and by the way me and Charlie are both left handed. No other way to be😊. We are all born right handed only the most intelligent and artistic ones over come it. 🤣

We did this too. But ours wasn't left over soup, it was left over casserole. It was never the same twice, and it was always my favorite meal of the week.

[@frankrueger8538]

You’re such easy, enjoyable folks to visit. This soup is a variation on one familiar by many names; the most memorable name I’ve heard it called was by the inimitable Phyllis Diller on Johnny Carson’s show: He asked what kinds of things she cooked and she proceeded to describe “Garbage Soup.” On Fridays she cleared out the fridge as her soup base. I loved her. I love soup and this video. I love you guys. Thank you.

[@ColdWarPrepper]

Thank you - I add potatoes to mine because I like to squish them at the end with my fork to get up all the juice

I am enjoying this souper bowl series. A former co-worker shared a similar recipe, she called it “Wash Day Soup”. One big difference is instead of the canned tomatoes she put in similar amount of chunky salsa ( what ever temperature level you like). This is definitely an easy but tasty soup. Enjoy your Florida time.

I do!

[@J.M.Chadwick6]

I live alone and I have a similar recipe that I occasionally make. I freeze containers of it and it lasts me for quite a long time. I do not put any pasta in when I freeze. When I decide to have some, I try different kinds of pasta and even barley and I cook it separately, adding as much (or as little) as I want. And some nights I don't put anything in it at all. The containers I use allow for 2 or 3 servings so if I am using pasta, I make enough and keep it in the refrigerator in a separate container (with a little olive oil on it) and add it when I am having the soup the second night. Thank you for the video.

[@deejo2]

We call it Poor Man's Stew.😊 And cornbread is the perfect combo. What I learned from your recipe is the cheese on top. I can't believe I never thought of that. So thanks again. Love your recipes.😊

We call this Uncle Toby's Slop, as that it what Aunt Tootie called it 😁. He loved it - she didn't - so he made it himself. He used every kind of canned veg in the cupboard, plus leftovers, plus he would add fresh carrots, rutabaga and parsnips. He used all the liquid from cans (if used) as well as water with bouillon. Hamburger cooked with onion, garlic, green peppers. I just made it Friday and have one more serving left for lunch today 😁. It is'nt necessarily the same each time. Makes it an adventure. Oh...nowadays I also add some Dried soup seasonings from Amish stores.

Tom, I don't fry my hamburger. I boil mine. Then, I run my cooked meat and the meat juice thru a strainer. I put both bowls in the fridge overnight. The next morning, the fat has come to the top of the broth. I save the fat for other things that I might cook. This way, my family does not eat fat. Try it...I think you might like how I do this. I do this for everything... spaghetti, tacos, chili, etc.

Thanks for sharing another great recipe. I think most people would enjoy some variation of this soup, great way to use up leftovers. I grew up in a large family and my mom made this often in the winter. She had a big pressure canner that she made it in. She would combine all of the last bits from the garden, and canned it for what she called soup mix. I hope you enjoy your time at the beach. God bless you.

I remember my mother in law making "Hang over soup" this kinda sounds like.. I think she used can of corn, beans and or peas, then ground beef and boiled the water then dumped everything form the cans she had on hand into the big kettle then broke up and dump little bits of ground beef or hamburger she ripped up... When the meat was fully cook time to dish it up.... It was best the next day chilling in the fridge over night, then again to me left overs always taste the best as I think it comes from the home cooking with out needing to cook.. LOL.. (edit add) I am a bit iffy on what all she put in there as that was 20 years ago and only was married for a few years, so seen her make it a few times..

[@blueblazer201]

How did the road snacks make out? Tips: Instead of pouring all the broth into your pot at one time, use some in the empty tomato cans and swirl, then pour into your soup. Also, I believe if you're going to use fresh basil and oregano, or any fresh herbs for that matter, you'll need to double the amount of dried herbs that are called for. As far as small, medium, or large onions... What about weighing or using a measuring cup? There's a few more tips I could add but I've been enjoying this kind of soup my entire life. Enjoy your vacation you Snow Bunnies!!! LoL - Chuck

Great idea on the damp towel! I’ve always been taught to use all that onion don’t leave none of it out. Just chop up the rest of it the best you can and throw it in the pot. You never can get enough onion as far as I’ve got that’s a natural antiseptic and it’s super good for you, lotta good medical properties to onions and garlic.

I just call this vegetable soup and the last few years I have been canning it in the summer from my garden veggies(carrots, tomatoes, green beans, celery, potatoes, onions and corn). When I go to cook it, I fry up some ground beef and then add the quart or two of soup and some frozen peas. Cook for a while and it’s done, so easy! I don’t add pasta to mine, though.

[@JoniRichy]
