HAMBURGER CHOWDER
I've been using this recipe since my penny-pinching newlywed days back in the 70's. Its inexpensive, hearty, easy and delicious. If you don't eat beef, substitute ground turkey, and you will still have a satisfying meal. Like most soups, its better the next day, but don't expect it to last much longer than that.

Steps:
- 1. Dice onion and celery (not too small this is a chunky chowder) and add to a dutch oven with the ground beef (or ground turkey). Cook on high heat to brown meat & sweat veggies. I use 80/20 burger so there is no need to drain, if you do drain, you will lose a lot of flavor.
- 2. Dice carrots & unpeeled potatoes, (again not too small)and add to pot when the meat is cooked through.
- 3. Add the canned tomatoes plus 2 cans of water, salt, pepper & barley. Give mixture a good stir & cover. Leave heat on high until mixture starts to boil. Then reduce heat so the chowder stays at a simmer. Cook for approximately 1 hour stirring occasionally. When the potatoes, carrots & barley are cooked, the chowder is done.
- 4. The longer the chowder cooks, the better it tastes. You can hold it on very low heat, but be careful that the chowder doesn't scorch on the bottom.
