ILLINOIS STOCKYARD BEEF SOUP

This recipe was an old newspaper clipping I found in my mother's shoe box of old recipe clippings after she died. I don't recall her ever making it but I suppose she thought it sounded good!

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

1/2 lb ground beef

1 cup chopped onion

1 medium garlic clove, minced

1 can condensed beefy mushroom soup

1 can tomatoes, chopped

1 can whole kernel corn

1/2 cup water

1/4 tsp dried oregano leaves, crushed

generous dash pepper

In a 2 1/2 quart saucepan over medium heat, in hot butter, brown meat and cook onion with garlic until tender. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Heat thoroughly, stirring occasionally. Makes 4 servings but may be doubled.
