Grandma Winterholler's Hamburger Soup

This is my Grandma's soup. We love it so much and the flavor is great! You can add whatever veggies you want, but this is typically what I use. I promise you won't be disappointed!

1 large onion, diced
2 cloves finely diced or pressed garlic
1 T. butter
1-1/2 pounds hamburger
2 cans beef broth (or chicken if you don’t have beef)
Water
1 Tbsp. beef or chicken base (or 3 bouillon cubes)
2 diced potatoes
Carrots
Can of corn
Green beans, optional
Peas, optional
Broccoli, optional
Cauliflower, optional

In stockpot, sauté onion and garlic in the small amount of butter. Don’t let the onions turn brown. Add hamburger and brown. Add 2 cans of beef broth, 3 cans of water, 1 Tbsp. beef base (or cubes). Add 2 diced potatoes, carrots, and any other vegetables that you want to add. Simmer for 30 minutes then serve. Enjoy!
