It’s the first day of spring and I want to be thinking about recipes for warmer weather but with predictions of sleet and snow for tonight and tomorrow, I’m thinking of warm comforting food.

Spicy Beef and Potato Soup

1 lb. lean ground beef
4 c. cubed peeled potatoes
1 small onion, chopped
3 cans (8 oz. each) tomato sauce
4 c. water
2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 to 1 tsp. hot pepper sauce

In a large Dutch oven, brown ground beef; drain. Add potatoes, onion and tomato sauce. Stir in water, salt pepper, and hot pepper sauce. bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 1 hour or until the potatoes are tender and the soup has thickened.

Serves 6 - 8 (about 2 qts.)
