I agree with lindaaiello. But I'm giving this recipe 5 stars BECAUSE of the versatility. Obviously everyone has favorite flavors. As far as I'm concerned, you can take garlic and toss it out the window. My family didn't use it when I was little, I didn't use it when my kids were little. My grownup kids now use lots of garlic, hot peppers, other spicy spicy flavors. I still don't; i LIKE bland. They have learned to take some out for me BEFORE they light it in fire. So be kind in your OPINIONS. The basic recipe is great. Feel free to doctor it all you want. But thank the person for submitting it & giving you the opportunity to let your creativity shine. Happy New Year to all :)

Love this!! So easy to make and my kids love it also!!

It was really simple to make. I added and extra can of beef broth and added garlic, smoked paprika, onions and a bay leaf to it. I crumbled a sweet corn muffin in it for a little sweetness. Not bad

Definitely belongs under the title "SIMPLE & DELICIOUS" After making this soup the first time my husband saw the photo in the magazine and not only recognized it,  but asked when I'd be making it again.  Since I usually have all the ingredients on hand it will be prepared again soon and often. THANKS!

In place of the diced tomatoes I used 2 cans of Ro-Tel and also in place of the beef broth I used V8 Vegetable juice;  ( I don't measure, I just added what I thought would be enough)

Great soup to start with.  This is a great basic recipe. Everyone has different tastes so add what makes you happy. I do not add my macaroni to the soup because I do not like mushy macaroni. I cook mine separately and add it to my bowl when I am ready to eat. I also add grated Parmesan or Romano cheese on top. Umm, good! ??

I made this after reading the other comments. I added garlic powder, chilli powder and black pepper. It was great.  I think the chilli powder added helped the flavor. When I make it again, I might add chopped onions and cook them with the hamburger at the beginning. This dish can have a lot of variation which is great - different vegetables or meat could be used. I would like to try this dish sometime with chicken. It would be easy to add more of some more ingredients to stretch the number of portions for a larger crowd.  Adding any kind of favorite cheese on top would bring it up to a 5 star recipe.

I make this soup love it only thing is I use tomato juice instead od tomatoes.

<p>I changed the beef to ground turkey. My 10 year old LOVES this soup!</p>

This was very quick and easy to make, but had very little flavor.  Adding some salt helped a little, and I did not use low sodium broth.  It also could have used more broth.  It was more like a stew.

Thanks Debra and reviewers who offered suggestions. i started with the basic recipe but waited to add the tomatoes until the end. I substituted quick barley for the macaroni, used 4 cups of water and 4 beef bouillon cubes instead of the beef broth and added these spices: 1 t. garlic powder, 1 t. onion powder, 1 t. thyme,  and 1.5 t. oregano. I will make this again, but may try holding the tomato, adding 1/3 c. lentils, and adding more broth for a beefy flavored soup.  What a versatile recipe for fall!I

This recipe is delicious! Not only easy to prepare but so very tasty. After reading some of the reviews, I added some chili powder and used a can of chili ready tomatoes. Perfect! We cleaned our plates. I cooked the macaroni separately then added it to the soup. We will have this recipe again. Volunteer Field Editor

I have never had a recipe for this but my husband has made the same soup for years, and we LOVE it. The recipe was unwritten and handed down from his mother, and was called "Hamberger Soup."  The only difference would be that he used fresh veges, although maybe none of us thought of using frozen. He also used some garlic powder and a few herbs - basil, oregano, or whatever he felt like adding that day. But the garlic was the key to making it GREAT! We served it with crackers and butter or garlic bread. I am basing the rating on this recipe with the inclusion of garlic. BTW, I don't believe we ever had leftovers.

Not my favorite, very Bland I don't think I'll make it again

Wish I had read the comments before I made it.... just followed the recipe because it sounded good, and yes, it could have used more liquid. Very tasty though. Good leftover/reheated too.

I added a can of BOLD Manwich, gives it a little kick

Absolutely LOVE this! Hubby and I love to cook it up on brisk cold days. I add a little bit of jalapeno's to spice it up a little bit. It is easy and VERY delicious!

The broth was thin and the flavors were very faded.

This is a wonderful soup. I generally always have the basic ingredients on hand, and the soup can be prepared quickly, providing a warm, filling, healthy meal. There are so many ways to change the flavoring by adding spices, herbs and seasoning. Also other items, such as beans, spinach, kale, cabbage. etc. can be added as well.

A hearty soup with lots of meat and vegetables. Pros: Fast and easy with good size portions Cons: My husband and I felt it needed a few more spices.  I added some garlic powder and onion powder.

This is a great recipe! I felt by the listing of ingredients, it would need "over seasoned." I added a lot more seasoning and I'm glad I did (more pepper, garlic salt and garlic powder). The photo also shows a lot more broth than what mine was left with, so I agree with some of the other reviewers and will add more broth next time (probably another cup would work well). All in all, a great dish to add to my rotation. Thank you for the addition to my recipe box!

my aunt janie used to make this! it brought back a lot of memories. Thanks for sharing!

Very good!  Quick and super easy. I didn't have regular canned diced tomatoes. So I used a can of Rotel and it was really good a nice little kick, but not really spicy. But,it needed more broth, so next time I'll definitely add 2 cans of beef broth.

This is phenomenal! I doubled the recipe and added green pepper and zucchini. Delicious and simple!
