1 pound lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 package Lasagna Hamburger Helper
5 cups hot water
1 14 oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 8 oz. can whole kernel corn, undrained, or 1 cup frozen corn
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 small zucchini, chopped
Cook beef and onion in large pot until beef is browned, drain.
Stir in hot water, sauce mix, tomatoes, corn and cheese. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in uncooked pasta and zucchini. Cover and cook 10 minutes longer. Sprinkle each serving with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
From whence it came: This recipe was given to me by another really great friend, Shannon Hall. Not only did
Why it's blogable: This soup is really yum-e! Now you might stick your nose up at Hamburger Helper, and to tell you the truth, I only buy it for this recipe, but trust me on this one. It makes a great base for this soup. And when the soup is done, just hide the box in the bottom of the trashcan and I promise you that no one will ever know you used the mix. Don't be a snob, give it a try!
If you want to: You can add more veggies if you'd like. Yellow squash looks really pretty in this, too, and tastes great! You can also top it with a little bit of mozzarella cheese if you're in the mood for stringy goodness! Serve it with a salad and warm French bread and your family will smile!
Hope you enjoy stirring it up!

So you don't know me....but I'm Diana's mom in Georgia. She is married to Josh Lee. Anyway, I've become one of your fan's....I love to read your recipes. I retired from cooking last July....after cooking for 27 years! Someone told me I could do that, so I DID. But when I ran across your blog, the recipes look so much fun to make, that now I'm actually thinking about opening my kitchen back up and trying your recipes! But I don't want my husband to know....just in case this phase passes! Janice
