Sometimes a person misses home, and growing up in Atlantic Canada this was a constant in many households. Just as Ree from Pioneer Woman states, you can add any kind of vegetable to this soup. Just like any other typical soup. Opting out Oregano for fresh Thyme sprigs was my choice, because I’m in the middle of harvesting my Thyme. And I enjoy Pearl Barley with this bowl of comfort. If you haven’t yet tried Hamburger Soup, you won’t be disappointed. Cheers folks.
