I'm not a fan of beef stew or soup, especially mine.  It's not something I've ever been good at.  But I found this recipe last night and made the best stew/soup I've ever made.  The recipe is mostly as I found it, just a few additions.  It's a good recipe to use leftover hamburger or leftover veggies to use.  The hamburger I used was actually taco flavored, leftover from Sunday dinner.
Best Beef Soup
about 1 lb ground beef 
1 c. carrots
1 c. celery
1 c. onions
1 c. cabbage, cut into small pieces (optional)
4-5 mushrooms chopped (optional)
5 cups water
4 tsp beef boullion (or you could use beef broth instead of bouillon and water)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 Tbl Worcestershire sauce
1 can tomatoe sauce (I don't use tomato sauce because we try to stay away from cans, but I did use the equivalent of tomato powder in my soup)
1 lg. can diced tomatoes (or 1 extra cup of water and a handful of dried tomatoes)
1 c. corn (canned, frozen or fresh)
1 tsp dried basil
3 Tbl ketchup
 In large soup pan, saute onions and ground beef til well done.  Add all other ingredients and simmer for an hour or two.  I had to add a bit more water after simmering because lots had boiled out.  This was a yummy, hearty tasting soup everyone ate without complaints.
