Notes
The smaller you cut your potatoes, the less time it will take for this soup to cook. I cut mine into 1/2 inch cubes and it typically takes about 20-25 minutes for the potatoes to soften.
I use a 90% lean ground beef. It's got plenty of flavor but doesn't make the soup greasy. If you're using beef with a higher fat content, drain off any excess fat after cooking the meat.
