Dump Soup

Children can easily help make this recipe! All they have to do is....dump!

1 lb lean ground beef
2-10 3/4 oz cans minestrone soup (+2 cans water)
16 oz cans Ranch style beans
2-16 oz cans stewed tomatoes (or you can use Rotel)
15 oz can whole kernal corn, drained
1 c frozen hash brown potatoes

Brown beef & drain. (I add a small chopped onion & cook with beef!) Combine meat with remaining ingredients in medium-sized soup pot & bring to a boil. Reduce heat & simmer about 15 minutes. If soup appears too thick, add a little water. Makes 16 (3/4 cup) servings.

This recipe can be "doctored" so many different ways. You can add additional vegetables or even spice it up with Tabasco sauce and/or chili powder. Make a batch of my Mother's cornbread and you've got a meal!!!
