Hamburger Soup

I used this cold, snowy morning to my advantage by making a big pot of meat soup. I grew up eating this, especially when the summer veggies in the freezer ran out. My husband usually doesn't like vegetable soup because it has a lot of different kinds of veggies in it, but he really likes this one. It reminds me a little bit of a thin chili without beans. I made us a piece of cornbread to go with ours, but good baked bread is also good.
