Every winter my grandma would go in the kitchen and prepare a big pot of soup that would have mix vegetables, hamburger meat, onions, potatoes, beef stock, okra, bell pepper, can of tomatoes and seasonings in it. She would even cook corn bread to go as a side dish with it. When the soup was done, she would fill up my bowl and as I taste my first bite it would warm up my whole body on a cold day. Now every winter this is my go-to dish. I call this dish Grandma Hamburger Vegetable Soup.
