Directions:
Cook hamburg in a hot skillet just until it loses its red color; break and mash with fork as it cooks so that it will be in small particles. Put hamburg in Crockpot and add tomato sauce, hot water, salt, and frozen vegetables, Put on high setting and let cook all day. Before serving, add 2/3 c orzo (or ½ c pasta alphabets) and cook until tender (about 10 min.). Put ½ tsp butter in each dish when serving. (Check to see if enough salt before serving.) For variety, try adding 2 c shredded cabbage with the mixed vegetables or add ¼ pkg frozen turnips greens, or ½ c finely diced turnip.

P.S. This soup may be cooked for about 2 hours in your regular soup kettle. Brown the hamburg in soup kettle, add the rest of the ingredients and cook gently for about ½ hour. Simmer for the rest of the time.
