SPICY POTATO SOUP
1 lb. ground beef
4 cups cubed potatoes
1 small onion, chopped
2 (15 oz.) Tomato Sauce
4 cups water
2 teasp salt
1&1/2 teasp pepper
1/2 to 1 teasp hot pepper sauce
In a Dutch oven or large kettle, brown ground beef. Drain. Add potatoes, onion & tomato sauce. Stir in water, salt, pepper & hot pepper sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce heat & simmer for 1 hour or until the potatoes are tender & the soup has slightly thickened. So good on a cold day.
NOTE: If I am cooking this soup for company, I omit the hot sauce and just set the bottle on the table for anyone who wants to use it.
