Hamburger soup

1 Tbls Olive Oil

1/2 a med sized onion, chopped

2 Tbls minced garlic

1 lb ground beef

1 can condensed tomato soup, plus 1 can water

2 to 14 oz. cans beef broth

1 small can of corn

1 cup cooked macaroni, wagon wheel, or small shell pasta

Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add onion and garlic until the onions are just soft. Add ground beef, season with salt and cook until meat is longer pink.

Meanwhile, in a 5 quart soup pot, pour in beef broth, tomato soup and water. Bring to a boil, turn down heat and simmer. In another pot, cook pasta to package directions, or cook directly in tomato/beef broth (I've done it both ways, but prefer to cook pasta in plain water).

When meat is cooked through, add to beef soup mixture. Add corn and pasta and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
