~Hamburger soup and bit of life post~

Now for today's recipe...and don't forget...this coming week will be "holiday favorites" week at cooking with littles!!

Hamburger soup

1 1/2 pound ground beef browned and NOT drained

1/2 cup flour

1 diced onion
1 diced red pepper
3 diced ribs of celery
4 diced carrots
1 lg can of crushed tomatoes
Water to fill up the pot to about 3/4 full.
2 tbs vegeta seasoning
1 tbs oregano
1 tbs parsley
1/2 tbs garlic powder
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt

1 cup cooked barley added at the end

Sour cream~one dollop in each bowl~to serve with~ optional

Place in large crock pot and cook on low until done. I usually don't start the crock pot until 12pm for this recipe as ground beef cooks quickly:). This recipe can be made in a pot if preferred.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream in your bowl and a slice of fresh bread on the side. YUM!
