When the temperature drops I instantly think two things, cozy sweaters and bowls of yummy soup. Here is one of my faves to get you feeling warm and fuzzy right away, its nutritious and very affordable to make.

Autumn Soup

1 lb ground beef

1 c. chopped onion

4 c. water

1 c. chopped carrot

1 c. chopped celery

1 c. chopped potatoes

1 28 oz. can diced tomatoes

1/4 c barley

1 tsp pepper

1 tsp Kitchen Bouquet

2 bay leaves

1 tsp basil

1 beef bouillon cube

Directions:

Cook the ground beef before adding to the pot, combine all ingredients until veggies and barley are tender. 

This is one of those recipes you can add more or less of veggies, add other veg you like or other seasoning. It also works great in the crock pot on low for 8-9 hours. Enjoy this simple recipe and cozy up for cold fall nights.
