Potato and Ground Meat Soup

When I was a kid, my mom made this to stretch a dollar - it was my dad's mom's recipe. We kids used to call it porridge - of course, it isn't REAL porridge, but we imagined that's what the 3 bears were eating before Goldilocks showed up.

Ingredients
- 3 large potatoes, peeled and diced shopping list
- 3 large onions, peeled and chopped shopping list
- 6 stalks celery, with leaves, chopped shopping list
- 1 pound ground beef, extra lean (originial recipe used only 1/2 pound) shopping list
- salt and pepper, to taste shopping list
- 1/4 cup butter shopping list
- 1/4 cup flour shopping list
How to make it
- Put veggies in pot and fill with water. Add salt and pepper (Crazy Salt) and cook until potatoes are mealy. Then crumble meat into pot. Cook another hour.
- In small skillet, brown the butter and flour until well browned and then add to the soup and stir well. (This is what gives it that really good flavor.)
- Ladle into bowls and top each with homemade, buttered croutons. If you want to make this pretty - to be honest, it needs help visually - sprinkle a little minced parsley or chives over top of each serving.

That sure sounds delicious! My grandmother made one similar to this and we loved it. She would use whatever meat we had leftover from Sunday dinner and make it on Monday.
