Autumn Soup

I love this soup because it is super easy and I usually have these ingredients on hand. This is one of Jeremy's favorites!

1 pound ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
3 cups water
1 cup sliced carrots
1 cup peeled and cubed potatoes
1 cup diced celery
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp bottled brown bouquet sauce (I don't think it's a big deal if you don't have this)
1/2 tsp pepper
1 bay leaf
1/8 tsp basil
1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes

In a large sauce pan cook and stir mean until brown. Drain fat. Cook and stir onions with meat until onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients; heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes or utnil veggies are tender.
