Directions:
While it isn’t essential to do so, the flavor will be improved if the ground beef is first crumbled and thoroughly browned in a skillet.

Add all ingredients except carrots and celery to a 6-quart pot. Cook for at least 30 minutes, but an hour or so doesn’t hurt.

Add celery and carrots. Adjust salt and pepper, if necessary. Then cook about 30 more minutes. Remove bay leaf before serving.

Personal Notes:
I was never an enthusiastic soup maker until I got this recipe from my granddaughter, Kim Whelehan. Now I enjoy making – and eating – this hearty soup every chance I get on blustery winter days. It’s probably what they call “comfort food” these days.
