When I was a child, my grandmother used to make hamburger soup, only she called it “poor man’s soup.” I guess this pot of simmering goodness got it’s moniker because hamburger is much cheaper to buy than other cuts of beef like stew meat. I really didn’t care what it was called as long as there was enough for me to get seconds.
I’m telling ya, this soup was and is GOOD. It’s a soup that almost everyone loves, including those pesky picky eaters. The folks who do not love it simply haven’t tried it yet. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
