Food For a Rainy Day

Alright, so If it’s rainy and miserable outside what’s better than homemade soup? So, curl up with a good book and a bowl (or two) of this great hamburger soup. It’s one of my Family’s favorites. The best thing about this soup is that it’s easy to make, you don’t have to strictly adhere to the recipe, just throw in whatever you feel like having. You can freeze the soup too, so on those days you just don’t feel like cooking all you have to do is pull it out of the freeze and thaw it. What do you like to curl up with on a cold rainy day?
