Spicy Potato-Beef Soup
"I do not remember where I found this recipe, but it's been one that I've enjoyed for some years. This is rather spicy, and you may want to cut down on the peppers. I generally omit the ground pepper and use 2 tsp. of pepper sauce, but am posting the recipe as I originally wrote it down."

Very tasty soup and easy to make. Instead of tomato sauce, I used crushed tomatoes which isn't as concentrated and I used beef broth instead of water as another reviewer did. I also used rotel tomatoes vs. hot sauce and the spice level was perfect. This was a very filling soup and it made a great lunch for us today. : ) -
This hit the spot here. Give DH anything thats made with hamburger and potatoes and he's a happy dude. I didn't add ant hot sauce to the recipe but just to my own bowl and we were both happy. I also added some dry beef soup base along with the tomato sauce and used the suggestion to mash some of the potato. Made the full recipe and have some 2 serving bags tucked away in the freezer. :D -
I cut back on the tomato sauce & added in some beef broth. I also mashed some of the potatoes before added them to the soup. Made for Ramadan Tag 09 -
This was tasty. I let it simmer for over an hour. I would suggest smashing up some of the potatoes before serving, just to get it a thicker base. Thanks! -
Really quick soup to put together and very comforting on a cool day. I used 1 tsp of black pepper and 1 tsp of hot sauce. I then added another shot of hot sauce towards the end of cooking. DH liked this alot.

Easy to make comfort soup. I used lean ground beef, half beef broth with the tomato sauce, and added 1 teaspoon sugar to cut the acid of the tomato sauce. Instead of water I used potato water drained from boiled potatoes. Served with thick slices of Italian garlic/cheese bread and a green salad for dinner. Delicious. Made for PRMR game.

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
