Hearty Hamburger Soup

1 pound ground beef

1 chopped onion.

14 -16 ounce can diced tomatoes or home canned

4 cups beef broth, I use salt free

3 med. potatoes diced/cut up into chunks

3 med. carrots sliced

1 stalk celery sliced

1 bay leaf

1/4 to 1/2 tsp oregano

salt and pepper to taste

Brown ground beef and chopped onion. Drain off fat. In small stew pot heat beef broth, tomatoes. Add veggies, meat, and seasonings. Simmer until veggies are tender. Remove bay leaf. Serve.

**Any veggie you like may also be added, if using peas add them when other veggies are not fully cooked since they cook faster than potatoes and carrots etc.
