After a weekend of experimenting, this hummus recipe was nailed down. Every everyone who has tasted it has enjoyed it. It’s the greatest they’ve ever tasted, according to several people. Although the beans and lemon juice should be let to sit first for the finest flavor, if you’re in a rush, everything can be blended together right away. To serve, make wells in the hummus and top with a drizzle of olive oil and paprika powder. Add diced cucumbers, tomatoes, and Greek olives as garnishes for a festive salad/dip to serve with pita bread.

Great soup. Very fast and easy.
We like thicker soup so we doubled the rice ,used no potatoes or carrot but added corn and chili powder.
Very quick and easy. Quite tasty also. Great for a hot soup on a cold evening.
OMG! I absolutely loved this soup and so did hubs! This was a great base and I can’t help adding my own little things! I used all the ingredients in this recipe (except salt), I just juggled things around some. After browning the beef, I sautéed onions, carrots and also used minced garlic and celery. I had a large can of petite diced tomatoes but I used my stick blender and made it almost smooth. I also added a small can as is. I added a touch of sugar to mellow out the tomatoes. I used Beef Better Than Bullion because I didn’t use any beef broth and that made it! Gosh this was so tasty! I definitely will make this again.
Easy soup recipe to make if you have a couple of hours to prep and cook. I cut the salt down to 3 teaspoons as had been suggested in an earlier review. I added 6 teaspoons of beef flavored soup base as well. I used spicy diced tomatoes with jalapeños to kick it up a little bit. Also added some left over canned corn that I had in the refrigerator. Soup turned out wonderfully. Will definitely make again.
Great recipe! I modified by using 3 teaspoons of beef bouillon, and 3 tbsp of cornstarch to thicken the soup a bit to a rapid boil before simmering. Easy to feed people with!
Tremendous and easy. My family really enjoyed it’s heartyness and rich flavor. No need for beef cubes. Just let it simmer for a few hours. Much better the next day as with most soups. Highly recommended. Bon appétit
Great recipe, easy to make and delicious! The only thing I changed was to use a low sodium beef broth for part (the one I got happened to be 900mL) and water for the rest.
We took other’s advice, added onion, garlic, celery, and Worcestershire to the browned beef and let it cook for about 5 minutes, used 4 cups beef broth, 2 cups water, reduced salt to about 1 tsp. Also used only a few fresh, diced tomatoes, added a can of tomato paste, and doubled the rice – was not “watery” at all. Husband and 5-year-old son both enjoyed, will make again.
The only thing i did different was add two little containers of Knorr homestyle concentrated beef broth. And i would add more rice. Other than that it was perfect.
Absolutely love! Our go to soup recipe, even my picky eaters love!!
This recipe is a great base for creating your own delicious version. I read many of the reviews, then chose to add beef bouillon granules, which calls for 1 tsp per cup of water. This ended up being a great decision. The broth became rich as it cooked and absorbed the starch from the potatoes and rice. I did double the rice because 1/4 cup seemed like nothing. And I knew from experience with cooking carrots, that if you’re using fresh, it takes longer for them to cook in soups, so as I was browning the meat, I cooked the chopped carrots in the microwave with a bit of water for a few minutes, just to get them a little less hard, giving them a head start. They were still somewhat firm when we ate the soup. Also, browned the meat with the onion and added a healthy sprinkling of garlic powder. My 3 guys inhaled this and asked that I make it again. It’s a keeper!
I added spices to make it suit our taste but overall pretty good & I will make again. I used 1 can whole tomatoes, 3 T tomato paste, garlic, onion, 3/4 can corn, chili powder, red pepper flakes, 2 beef bouillion cubes, oregano, parsley & a little salt. I cooked the rice separately and put in a bowl adding the soup on top like someone else suggested. I actually remember seeing Rachel Ray do that to a soup she made once. Even my picky boys liked this.
This recipe base helped me get exactly the soup my hubby and I love. It tasted like a famous veggie beef soup served at a popular restaurant where we live. I used 2 cups water and 4 cups beef broth. To the broth I added 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tbs balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tbs worchestershire sauce, 2 tbs onion soup mix, fresh garlic and fresh dill, basil and oregano. I also threw in a can of sweet corn niblets. Shortly before serving I added a bit of already cooked rice I had from leftovers. A great dinner and now we have lunches for the week too!
This soup was awesome. I don’t cook with black pepper so I substituted cayanne for it. I also threw in some sage and italian spices and took other readers suggestions to use beef bouillon cubes as an additional flavor. It was great! Thank you…
I’ve made this many times. It is a good, simple staple recipe. I added some finely diced celery and a few tablespoons of canned jalepenos just because I had some that I needed to use up. The kick turned out nice. We always top with cheese and call it Cheeseburger soup.
Hearty recipe… My picky kids 10 and 9 ate it and raved!! I left the rice off to the side as my boyfriend doesn’t care for it . It freezes well! I turned the leftovers into a pasta dish just pouring it as a sauce! DELICIOUS!!
Yummy im making this right now,its almost done.Thank you.I added a little Oregano.The tomatoes i added was canned Mexican style.i also added a little bit of flour to thicken up some.
Cut the recipe in half since I am the only family member who likes soup. I did add 2 bouillon cubes, a half tsp of garlic powder, and a bay leaf – just for my own flavor preference. Wonderful soup on a cold, rainy day.
it was way too salty. i added extra rice, and the salt was still a bit overpowering. i think it would be better with beef broth and less salt.
Added 3 chicken boullion cubes, tabasco sauce, basil and substituted carrots for green beans. It was pretty good.
