Nicole's Beef Vegetable Soup

hThis is a great way to have picky eaters eat!

My seven year old wanted to help make dinner one evening. She is my picky eater. She picked out all the ingredients, or they passed her inspection before adding to the soup. She even ate things she doesn't normally eat, because she made it. She cut up everything with supervision and decided on how much of each ingredient should go into the pot She didn't know what lentils and split peas were, but at that point she was excited to find something in the cupboard to add to the pot. It needed some salt and pepper, but it was a great idea. She now wants to make a "cookbook" of all her own made recipes.

3/4 pot of water
2 cups carrots (she cut up)
2 cups celery (she cut up)
1 small zucchini (hates it, but agreed if it was the small zucchini, and cut into large chunks, so she could pick out the pieces)
2 lbs hamburger
3 tbsp beef bullion
1 cup dry split peas
1 cup lentil beans
1 can tomato soup

Cook the hamburger in the pot, then add all the other ingredients. Bring to boil, and cook until carrots are tender, about 20 minutes.

Serve.
