A thick, hearty soup using fall's bounty. Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
Directions
  • Sauté bacon, ground beef and onion in a large soup pot until the beef is browned.
  • Dissolve bouillon cubes or granules in 2 cups of boiling water.
  • Add the bouillon plus 4 more cups of water to the soup pot.
  • Add spaghetti sauce, celery, carrot, cabbage, squash, salt and pepper and garlic powder.
  • Bring mixture to a boil.
  • Cover pot and simmer for 30 minutes or until the carrots are fork tender.
  • Add pasta, kidney beans, grean beans and spinach.
  • Boil for 10 more minutes.
Cooks note: This soup is very thick, you may want to add more liquid, either water or beef stock. Don't overcook - cook only the amount of time indicated. The soup is better if made the day before and then slowly reheated. Freezes well.
