Hearty Hamburger Soup
After a day spent out in the cold there is nothing better than to come in to a hot bowl of soup. This is a cross between chili, stew and soup and is one of the favourites in our home.
Chock full of vegetables, beans and meat it is a complete meal, just add a crusty loaf of ciabatta bread and a glass of hearty wine.
This is a great soup to serve a crowd after skiing or tobogganing.
Let it snow!
