Hamburger Soup With or Without Noodles
My Grandma’s Hamburger Soup is comforting and delicious whether you make it with or without noodles. Packed with seasoned lean ground beef, veggies and barley, it’s a hearty “stick to your ribs” kind of meal. Prepared on the stovetop or in a slow cooker, it’s a long time family favorite of ours.

Notes
*I usually amp up my veggies, because we like lots of them, don't be afraid to add more or something different, I have cut small potatoes into it before, or green beans, too *
**I always double this recipe when I make it - I love to have leftovers. Freezes well, too! **
