Farmers Favorite Soup

I collect a lot of the tourist brochures and magazines for each town I visit because often they point out new and exciting things I may have missed in my travel planning from home. Many times they have local flavor items such as restaurant guides and even recipes which is how I came to find this one in a magazine from the Amish country in Ohio. It is a wonderful warm soup for a cool fall or winter day. I love the rustic flavor, but also love that the flavor always makes me imagine an Amish farmer savoring a steaming hot bowl of this soup as he warms up from being out in the field.

Soup is very flexible. Feel free to change around the ingredients for whatever you like. Use whatever meats, vegetables or grains you have in your refrigerator or pantry.

Ingredients

 1 pound hamburger
 1 large onion, chopped
 1 cup celery, chopped
 1 large potato, peeled and sliced (at least 1 cup)
 1 cup carrots, peeled and sliced
 salt and pepper to taste
 1 cup tomato sauce
 6 cups water
 1/4 cup cornmeal
 1/4 cup water

Directions

Brown the hamburger and onion, drain off fat. In a heavy pot combine the meat and onion mixture, celery, potatoes, carrots, salt and pepper, tomato sauce and 6 cups of water. Simmer with the cover on until the vegetables are tender. Make a think paste of the cornmeal and 1/4 cup water. Add to the soup stirring constantly so lumps do not form. Continue stirring until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.

I like to serve this soup with a hunk of rustic or crusty bread on the side.

Note

You may notice that some of our recipes do not contain exact measurements for all ingredients. Cooking on the road is an art more than a science. We view each recipe as only a suggestion - a starting point for your own personal creativity.

We aren't usually dealing with food chemistry in these recipes since we aren't baking with leavening, etc., so feel free to use as much or as little of any suggested ingredient. Be creative and imaginative! Substitute the foods you like or have available for the ones in the recipes. And if you find something that turns out well for you, please share it with the rest of us.
