Today and Hamburger Soup

Such a good day so far. Saturday morning movie (Over the Hedge), yard work (I am so loving being in the yard lately), visit from Brian's brother, sister-in-law, and nephew (good time), lunch, Addie went in her pool for a bit, got a bath, went for a nap, and in a couple of hours we'll be having my parents-in-law over for Hamburger Soup. Here are the ingredients and directions:

Hamburger Soup


1 lb. hamburger, browned and drained
5 cups water
1 pint tomatoes (Iused 1-2 cans of tomatoes)
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup chopped celery
1/3 cup rice
1 Tbsp boullion
2 tsp salt
1 tsp basil (I'll be using some basil from my dear little plant!)

Simmer altogether for about 1 hour or vegetables are soft.

Have a great weekend!
