Harvest Hamburger Soup

1lb Ground Beef

1/2 onion

4.5 c. water & 4 beef bouillon cubes (dissolved in water)

1 1/2 c chopped tomatoes or 1 can stewed tomatoes

1 1/2 c frozen corn

1 c carrots

3 medium potatoes peeled and diced

1 t taco seasoning*

salt and pepper

Brown ground beef with onion, set aside. Boil carrots and potatoes for 10 minutes in the water/bouillon mixture. Add everything else to the mixture. Simmer for 15-20 minutes. (and for those daring few... cheddar cheese melted on top when the soup is done can be a fun experiment)

*(But if you're like me and cook on a whim and its too late when you realize that you're out of taco seasoning.... I substituted it with a few shakes of chili powder, cavendars greek seasoning, onion powder, garlic, and rosemary and it worked just fine!)
