Fall Goulash

Kuddos to Jeff's cousin, Julie, for this recipe.  Once you have the canned vegetable soup on the shelf, this is an easy recipe to put together.  See the recipe for my canned vegetable soup under the canning  label.  My kids thought this was more like a soup/stew than goulash.  But hey, Julie called it goulash so I will call it goulash.  :) 

 

This is the canned vegetable soup that is referred to in this recipe.  

1 quart canned vegetable soup (see recipe under canning label)
1 lb. hamburger
1/2 c. macaroni


Brown hamburger, drain.  Bring 2 cups of water to boil.  Add 1 t. each of instant chicken and beef bouillon.  Add macaroni, cooking according to directions on box; however, do not drain.  Combine canned vegetable soup, hamburger, macaroni and the following ingredients:
1 t. instant onion
1/4 t. chili powder
1/8 t. garlic powder
1/4 t. basil leaves
1/4-1/2 t. salt

Simmer until ready to serve.  The longer the better.  If placing in crock pot, remove this lid for a while to reduce the liquid.
