Savory Honey-Hamburger Soup




Source of Recipe


AARP


List of Ingredients




1 pound hamburger
1 medium onion – chopped
2 carrots – chopped
2 stalks celery (with tops) – chopped
1 medium green pepper – chopped
2 cloves garlic – minced
4 cups tomato sauce
1 can (15 ounces) whole tomatoes – slightly crushed
1 bay leaf
6 whole cloves
1 teaspoon of each: chili powder, basil, oregano
3 tablespoons honey
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
Hot tap water as needed



Recipe




Sauté onion in olive oil for five minutes, then add all other raw vegetables (including the garlic) and the hamburger and cook for five more minutes. Add the tomatoes and the tomato sauce to the pot. Combine all of the spices in a blender and blend together thoroughly, then add to the soup along with the honey. Add hot tap water to thin the soup to desired consistency. Cook over low heat for one hour, then remove from heat and allow it to sit (covered) for at least one more hour. Reheat before serving and correct for salt and pepper. This is one of those soups that tastes even better if you serve it a day or two after you’ve made it.
