I love this Hearty Hamburger Soup as I am a big fan of meaty soups. This one is filling and nutritious. It is a big recipe that makes a big pot of soup. It will feed a crowd on a cold day or provide lunches for 2 people for a week.
To make this soup, start by cooking ground beef. Drain and discard any excess grease. Add onion, carrots, celery, and barley to the pot and stir in diced tomatoes, water, broth, and tomato soup. Season the soup with bay leaf, parsley, garlic, thyme, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil and then simmer for 2 hours, stirring frequently. Before serving, remove the bay leaf.
