Hamburger Soup

By request, here's a recipe I came up with for a yummy, yummy soup.

It's different every time I make it, so substitute at will.

• 1 lb hamburger
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic chopped
• 1/2 big can of tomatos
• about 5 cups of water
• 1 can kidney beans (rinsed to get rid of the fartiness)
• 1 cup salsa
• 1 small can tomato paste
• 1 Tbsp crushed red pepper
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 Tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp marjoram
• 1 tsp basil
• 2 bay leaves

Brown the burger, onion, and garlic. Add everything else, and bring to a boil. Turn heat down and simmer until the consistency looks favourable.

That's it. Pretty simple, hmm? I find the soup tastes even better after it's been in the fridge for a day or two. It reheats really well.
