Hamburger Soup

Heat cooking fat in a large pot and brown the ground beef. Leave the beef in the pot and add onion, garlic, and seasonings. Cook until the onion softens. Add carrots, green beans, peas, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth and bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook until the carrots begin to soften, about 20-25 minutes. Add diced potatoes and cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender (check with fork frequently). Taste and add more seasoning if needed, enjoy!
