1 lb. ground beef
2 cups diced carrots
1/2 cup diced celery
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 cup uncooked rice
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 can (No. 303) Tomatoes
4 cups boiling water
Buy ground beef with an extra amount of suet thrown in. This adds to the flavor and richness of the soup. Place all ingredients in a large kettle, cover tightly, bring to boiling point.
Reduce heat and simmer one hour. Makes 2 quarts. Serve with Garlic Bread.
