Hearty Hamburger Soup

If you want to stay warm from the inside out on a cold winter night, this is the recipe to make. It's got tons of good things in it and has a rich taste to go along with it.

• 1 lb ground beef
• 4 cups water
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 3 medium carrots, sliced
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup chopped celery
• 4 tsp beef bouillon granules
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1/4 tsp dried oregano
• 1 cup fresh or frozen green beans

In a large saucepan, brown beef; drain. Add the next 10 ingredients (everything but the beans), bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes and carrots are tender. Add green beans. Cover and simmer 15 minutes longer or until the beans are tender.
