Start by boiling a 1/2 gallon of water and stir in soup mix. Then add about a pound of stir fryed hamburger and let the soup simmer for 30 to 40 minutes.
If you cook it in a crock pot start with hot water then stir in the soup mix and the hamburger and cook on high for an hour and one half or put it on low and let it go for 3 to 4 hours.
To make the above soup mix spicey , instead of hamburger use a pound of stir fryed Jimmy Dean spiced sausage
