Vegetable & Hamburger Soup

It was a very HOT day today, so I am not sure why I was craving a bowl of hot soup? It is healthy, filling, and very tasty!
This soup is a great week night meal. It makes enough for our family of 4 to have it for two meals, and left-overs is a great thing.
Serve with some bread, and you have yourself a very satisfying meal.
