This is a simple and inexpensive comfort food. I’ve always made it without regards to a recipe or exact measurements. It’s very adaptable to whatever ratio of meat and vegetables you wish to use. My mother always used rice, but I prefer barley. Read more Great with bread ‘n butter or even served in bread bowls. See less

How to make it
- Note: Salt is the secret ingredient that makes this flavorful. I am sensitive to salt and use home canned products. The amount given is just a starting point. You may need to use more.
- 1. Brown hamburger and onions together in a large pot. Drain off excess fat.
- 2) Sprinkle 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper over meat and stir.
- 3) Add remaining ingredients and bring to boil. Simmer 45 min. to an hour. Stir frequently, scraping bottom to prevent rice from sticking. Add additional water as necessary to maintain desired consistency. Also, break up tomatoes while stirring.
- 4) Taste test: If it tastes bland, gradually add a little salt (and more pepper if desired) to achieve a flavorful broth. Serve with buttered bread.
