    Here's my little tweak...V8 instead of the water. YUM. Wish I had some for lunch. - 4/9/08

    "Brown Bouquet" sauce refers to Kitchen Bouquet, which is used as a gravy base sometimes. It's old-fashioned and when I don't have enough "scrapings" after roasting meat to properly flavor a gravy, I'll use KB. It is decidedly NOT a BBQ sauce! - 4/5/08

    I brown the ground meat, drain it throroughly in a colander & return it to the pan with the veggies & seasonings, brown it all together for added flavor. I disguise spinach by chopping it very tiny. Baby limas, turnip, parsnips are tastey, too. Sometimes I thickened with flour & fat-free 1/2 & 1/2 - 7/1/08

    I have eaten this soup since I was little, my grandma used to make it every week! When I was big enough to reach the stove she taught me her recipes and this is one of my favorites. She sometimes put in a handful of pasta or rice. She varied the veggies depending what was ripe in the garden that day - 7/1/08

    used venison in place of beef and lima beans in place of green beans. I added a dab of garlic and put it in crock pot for the day. - 9/7/08

    A nice hardy soup. Didn't have green beens on hand but you can add whatever veggie you like. I added some cubed butternut squash to the recipe along with some beef boullion for extra flavour and served the soup with grainy bread. Hubby really liked it! - 5/1/10

    This was very good without any extra seasoning like the 'bouquet' . I left out the green beans and tomatoes because I am not fond of them there was plenty of vegetables for me in it all ready. My first SP receipe!! next Grape Salad :-) - 12/4/08

    I substituted ground beef for ground chicken, omitted the carrots as we don't really care for them and instead of the brown bouquet I put in some chicken gravy mix. It was such a hit that even my daughter's friend had 2 bowls, my neighbor tried it and took some home and it was all gone that night. - 4/14/08

    This has always been a budget stretcher in our home! Other additions are cumin, chili pepper, and chili beans to make Cowboy Soup. Ground turkey and poultry seasoning gives it a fall flare with a bit of squash and turnips. Italian seasoning, oregano, and garlic for a more Mediterranean flavor. - 1/23/16

    My family calls it Hobo Soup, whatever veggies we have on hand go into it. My family loves it, we serve it with homemade bread. - 7/1/08

    I love this soup - I use reduced sodium Better Than Bouillon (BTB) Beef or BTB Mushroom rather than water and skip the brown bouqet sauce and it is awesome. - 12/18/16

    I use ground turkey breast when my daughter comes for a visit and it tastes delicious. I grew up with chopped lean stew meat being used in a soup. During the summer, its nice to get fresh vegetables from the Farmer's Market down the street from us, too! :-) - 1/23/16

    I'm wondering if you drain the fat after browning the meat?
    This recipe is loaded with veggies. It sounds very healthy. - 4/18/09

    This soup was always a standby in my family - to this day, when I need a boost, I call my mother and request hamburger soup! I made it a little different - no beans or brown boquet sauce - but I did mince garlic. - 7/1/08
