Hamburger Soup
After we posted the Poor Mans Lobster Recipe………..which I know you all will be making for Valentines Day, our conversation was still about the food we served at Waldo Stubbs. It was such a large part of people’s lives, not only the place, but the food. Several readers ask if we had the recipe for Hamburger Soup, which was served every Wednesday along with a Grilled Cheese Sandwich. It was the most popular soup at the restaurant.
Well, we did not have the original recipe, but after much brain-storming, we think we have recreated the recipe. For those of you who remember the soup try it and let us know if we succeeded. If you have noooooo idea what we are talking about, just try it and you’ll know what all the fuss is/was about!

Thank you for taking a peek at our site. I hope you keep checking back as we grow.
This looks JUST like my grandma used to make. Hers was called Poor Man’s Soup. And one of those things that likely never ever had a recipe written to it but just used what she had on hand – but it somehow always tasted more or less the same. Printed and trying this out tomorrow!
I hope it is everything you remember about your Grandmother’s soup. We enjoy it and make it often.
Made this today. However, I added a package of frozen mixed vegetables and added some bloody Mary mix. So far it tastes and smells delicious. Thanks for the recipe
Thank you Dawn…..glad you liked it!!! Hope you try many more of our recipes!
