During the '70's when I was an Assistant Manager at some apartments in Arlington the older couple who were the managers there took us under their wing. Cleo was a great cook and when she made homemade soup she always added a dab of butter and a tiny amount of hot sauce to the soup. She preferred chopped sirloin to ground meat, but we couldn't afford the chopped sirloin so I used ground meat, I still do, and I still like to add that little bit of butter and a shot of hot sauce. This is one of those recipes I change up a lot. Sometimes I use 3 cans of the small cut, sometimes 1 large cut and 2 small. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs ground beef |
1 (64 ounce) can tomato juice |
3 (15 ounce) cans veg-all |
1 onion, chopped (optional) |
1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope knorr vegetable soup mix |
2 beef, bouilion cubes |
1 dash worcestershire sauce |
salt and pepper |
1 tablespoon butter |
hot sauce (to taste) |
Directions:
1. Brown ground meat with chopped onion, drain well.
2. Add the vegetables (I don't drain them), tomato juice and salt & pepper to taste.
3. Add onion soup mix, butter and hot sauce.
4. Just a tiny amount of hot sauce will do. I simmer on very low for at least 4 hours.
5. Serve with Jiffy Brand (my favorite) corn bread.
