I have been married to a wonderful Christian man since 1976. The Lord has blessed us with two daughters and two sons. I consider each day the Lord gives me on the earth yet another chance to serve Him.

Hamburger Soup

Super easy and quick soup to make.  It's one of the few soups that I put frozen veggies in (sometimes I do fresh).  You may want to add a little shredded cheese over the top once you've served it up.




HAMBURGER SOUP

*3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced small (I use Idaho)
*1 large yellow onion, diced
