Autumn Soup

Brad asked me to take care of meals this week and last. This week I decided to make Autumn Soup, one of my childhood favorites. I know! It's not fall! What was I thinking! But really it's good any time of year. : )


Autumn Soup
1 lb beef
1 med yellow onion, chopped
3 carrots, chopped
4 potatoes, cut up
1 large can tomatoes (or you can cut your own; I’m too lazy)
Any other veggies that sound good (green beans, mushrooms, zucchini, etc)
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
1/8 tsp basil
(rosemary?)
2 bouillon cubes
4 cups water

Cook beef (with rosemary?)
Add onions and cook for another 5 min
Add water and bring to a boil, then drop to a simmer
Add potatoes, salt, pepper, basil, bouillon, and simmer for about 10 min.
Add carrots and simmer for another 10 min.
Add tomatoes, continue to simmer until veggies are tender
