ZIPPY HAMBURGER SOUP
I created this recipe 3 days ago when my cupboard was mostly bare and my 11 year old son requested a pot of soup for supper. The A1 sauce happened because I couldn't find my bottle of Worchestershire sauce, and took a chance. I only added it a touch at a time but it turned out to be one of the most flavorful and satisfying soups I've ever made, and the leftovers were even better the next day when the flavors had intensified. I used pre-browned ground beef from my freezer stash and put this soup from conception to table in 45 minutes. The A1 sauce brings a whole new depth of flavor and makes it truly delicious and satisfying. I did not have any kidney beans or I probably would have added a can. I also cannot guarantee the results using a different brand of Steak Sauce, experiment at your own risk! Of course, like any soup, you can use whatever veggies you have around, and can use any combination of fresh, canned, or frozen. This is just what I had on hand. I added the A1 at the end, and just barely allowed it to cook into the soup. You can add it earlier but it loses some of the tang, which is what we liked so much. I would suggest adding it a bit at a time, and tasting until it suits your taste. Season with salt/pepper as needed along the way. Serve this with a green salad and biscuits or your favorite crusty bread and your family will be licking the bowl :)

Steps:
- Begin with ground beef (either freshly browned/drained/seasoned) or frozen, in soup pot, over medium heat.
- Add beef stock, onion soup mix, tomatoes (do not drain), Celery Salt, and 1 can of water (use empty tomato can- 28 oz, I guess). Mix well.
- Add potatoes and carrots and bring to a full simmer, until vegetables are fork tender (about 20 minutes depending on the size you cut them).
- Add drained beans/corn, and frozen peas.
- Add steak sauce at the end, allowing to cook just about 5 minutes to bring things together.
- This could easily be a crockpot recipe by putting the ground beef, onion soup, broth, tomatoes, potatoes and carrots on in the morning, and finishing by adding the other vegetables and A1 at the end.

ZIPPY TURKEY STOUP
No, that's not a typo. My DH calls my soups "stoup" because I make them THICK. My oldest son is down with a head cold and a sore throat and I didn't have time for my usual, homemade chicken and noodle soup so I whipped this up instead of the planned dinner he wouldn't have been able to eat. You don't have to have a head cold to enjoy this. You just need to be looking for a bowlful of meaty goodness and colorful veggies with a little extra zip. Note -- "vegetable juice cocktail" is V-8. But that isn't in the ingredient database so I can't say it.

Steps:
- In a large pot, brown the ground turkey and onions in a little olive oil.
- Add all the other ingredients and bring to boil.
- Simmer 15-20 minutes, until rice is soft and flavors are well blended.
- Note: If you prefer a thinner, more brothy consistency add more chicken stock and taste to adjust seasonings.
- Note: The jalapenos don't make this really hot -- just a little zippy. If even this is too much substitute the milder Anaheims or "Cubanelle"-type sweet peppers. If its not spicy enough for you go for whatever variety suits your taste.
- Note -- I haven't frozen it, but it ought to freeze as well as any other soup.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful your soup will be. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, green beans, and tomatoes.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs. A little bit of cumin, oregano, or thyme can go a long way in enhancing the flavor of your soup.
- Add a protein source. If you want a more filling soup, you can add cooked chicken, beef, or tofu.
- Serve with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up all the delicious broth.

Zippy vegetable soup is a delicious and healthy way to warm up on a cold day. It's also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
