Hamburger Soup

• ¾ lb 93% fat-free ground beef
• 2 cups canned tomatoes, diced
• 3 cups carrots, diced
• 2 cups celery, diced
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 tbsp salt
• ¼ tsp pepper
• ¼ cup uncooked brown rice
• 8 cups water
• 3 beef bouillon cubes

Put all ingredients into large pot. Bring to a boil and stir to break up meat. Lower heat and simmer for 45 minutes. (Before there was 93% lean meat, we used to let the soup sit in the refrigerator overnight and spoon the fat off the top in the morning before re-heating and eating. Now it makes so little fat, this step isn't necessary).
