This recipe was inspired by my mother’s hamburger soup which was always one of my favorites, but instead of following her recipe, I substituted almost all of the ingredients in her recipe for canned food items. Fortunately, my mother’s recipe was easily adapted, so this version, while different, was perfect. It was exactly what I needed for my 30 days of cans challenge.
