I don’t know about you, but I want a warm bowl of soup as soon as the weather turns cold. And I do mean soup or stew. I’m not really the chili type unless it’s White Chicken Chili. It turned cold yesterday, and as the shelves and freezer section at the grocery store showed yesterday afternoon, a lot of other people were getting ready to have soup too. Then, on social media last night, I saw many people making Hamburger Soup, and I thought… it’s time!

I love the “hometown” flavor of this soup. It’s the kind of thing you eat with a square of cornbread on the side. It’s a taste that makes me think of a grandma’s house or the truck stop in college.

I should probably leave out the stories of the truck stop in college – but there was this truck stop, and they served a vegetable stew, and these flavors take me back to some late-night study sessions and hard talks that were had in a corner booth of the college truck stop.

Today, that truck stop is a big fancy gas station that I would probably also frequent for Cinnabon and daily specials, which is why it’s probably good I’m not in college anymore! But, this winter, when you are like, I need a blanket and a bowl of soup – here you go….maybe I should change the name to that.

Hamburger soup is perfect for cold winter nights when you need a blanket and to cuddle by the fire, and it cooks in the crockpot, too. Ground beef or deer meat and vegetables combine to make a soup that tastes just like your Grandmother would make.
