Poor Man Soup



This past week I've had some sick kiddos to deal with.  Add some rainy weather to the mix and soup just sounded fantastic!  Growing up we had this often.  It's a versatile and easy meal.   My favorite way to prepare it is in the crock pot.   All the flavors and smells become amazing after a day in the crock pot!   Today though - I used just a pot since I was short on time.   

 Ingredients 

1 lb ground beef
3 potatos peeled and diced
small - medium package of frozen mixed veggies
1 box of stock
2 cans tomato sauce
1/2 tsp tyme
1/2 - 1 Tbs Parsley
3/4 tsp cardamom
2 bay leaves (remove after cooking)
Salt and Pepper to taste
 
Like I said, this is super easy and very versatile.  Don't like something?  leave it out!  Want something added?  Toss it in!  Use what you have in your house already! I start with browning the meat.  Recently I've been eating Bison or venison instead of beef.  today I used bison.   I put the entire box of vegetable stock, tomato sauce and potatoes into the pot.*  let cook for about 5 minutes then toss in the frozen veggies, meat, tyme, parsley, cardamom, and bay leaves.    Cook on high for about 15 minutes.   Eat while its hot!  Very quick, easy and delicious! 

I would love to hear what you thought if you made this!
