Hamburger Soup

I can't believe its been almost 2 full weeks since I actually cooked something new. Thanksgiving week is kinda a wash. More quick meals than new recipes. And Turkey Day itself is always the same.

Last week I planned, but didn't cook. Just didn't feel like it. 

This week however, I've got a full menu, starting with soup tonight. 

I'm love soups this time of year. They're easy, and make good leftovers. This one is a twist on vegetable beef soup. Instead of using stew meat it uses burger. Which, in my opinion, is way easier.

Swapped corn for cauliflower rice. Great substitution for lowering the carb count.

Also added a tablespoon of chili powder and a splash of Worcestershire sauce.
