This recipe was inspired by my mother’s hamburger soup which was always one of my favorites, but instead of following her recipe, I substituted almost all of the ingredients in her recipe for canned food items. Fortunately, my mother’s recipe was easily adapted, so this version, while different, was perfect. It was exactly what I needed for my 30 days of cans challenge.

I love a good vegetable soup and if you add beef, extra yum. This soup looks delicious!
I love that this one is so versatile. By just changing, or adding, different spices,the final product can be different each time you make it.
What a budget friendly soup! Everyone should know how to make this! Delicious!
These types of soups are so simple that anyone can make them. That’s part of their charm. The inexpensive ingredients are just an added bonus.
I love a good savory soup and this one looks fantastic!
My favorite part of this is that it’s so easy to make. Especially after a long day at work.
