Hamburger Soup

I've been feeling a little under the weather over the past few days. Tired, chilled and fighting off a flu bug, I felt the need for soup.

And not just any old soup.

My original recipe for hamburger soup is something I crave when the weather grows cold and I need something to help me feel better. Packed with flavourful ingredients, spices, and a gorgeous tomato and beef infused broth, this soup is sure to please for a weeknight dinner or a casual winter get together.

It's super easy to put together and is, quite honestly, just delicious. I hope you give it a try... and if you do, let me know what you think!
