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 :)
