Oh fall . . .
I am loving all the beautiful leaves, the cooler sunny days, the pumpkin-flavored everything, and getting the chance to wear my boots and sweaters.
However, I am not loving the fact that it’s coming to an end so quickly! I just saw the weather forecast for the next few days . . .
Snow.
I am freaking out a little! Snow for Halloween is not my favorite!!!
When we were growing up, my mom would always plan our Halloween costumes around our winter coat- we usually had to be something that you could wear a coat over or under and it looks like this year is shaping up to be something similar.
So while the snow falls down on my freshly carved jack-o-lanterns, I will be whipping up a bowl of this yummy soup.
This soup is a copycat from one of my favorite restaurants from Logan, UT called Juniper Takeout. Now that we don’t live there anymore, I tried to recreate it as close as I could. It turned out pretty good!

How crucial would you say the ketchup is?? I'm not a fan at all and a cup seems like a ton but if it's noticeably different without the ketchup I can suck it up, lol.
-
Agree about the ketchup...all that corn syrup! I doubled up on the tomato paste and skipped the ketchup. It was fine.
-
I buy ketchup w/o high fructose corn syrup.
-
Where do u buy ketchup with out fritrose

I made this for dinner tonight. I didn't use the brown sugar and the soup was still way to sweet. If I make this again, I will use 1/4 cup or less of the ketchup.

I made this for dinner tonight. I didn't use the brown sugar and the soup was still way to sweet. If I make this again, I will use 1/4 cup or less of the ketchup. My family just didn't care for it. I added more broth and another can of tomato paste, but this was not a winner for us.

Can'5 wait to try this. I used to work @ Juniper Take Out in college & I loved that soup. It is even better the next day. You even got the ketchup. :)
-
I love this soup.
-
I'm making this for dinner right now! The only question I have is whether I start with 1 1/2 cups dry macaroni or if it's 1 1/2 cups already cooked :-? I'm going with dry, because i can always set some aside for another recipe...
-
Tasted like sloppy joes soup! It was way too sweet for my liking, but I liked it in general. I think I'll tweak it next time. Less ketchup and no brown sugar. Maybe plain tomato sauce instead.
-
Skip the ketchup and use two cans of paste. And just plain skip the brown sugar. In my opinion, just my two cents.
-
Or use spag sauce in place of the ketchup

Making it tonight-- hubby thought the picture looked good!
-
My Mother use to make something very similar to this recipe, she didn't use brown sugar, she used regular sugar, just a small amount to lessen the tang from the tomatoes. I love it, it's great on a cold day, plus it's quick and easy to make. It's also relatively cheap to purchase all the ingredients, with the exception of the ground Beef of course.
-
Made the soup for supper. Husband loved it. would not change a thing.
-
Shut the front door. I CRAVE this soup from Juniper Take-out and I always wanted to re-create it. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
-
My family absolutely loooooved this!!!! Thank you so much!!!
-
in your recipe there's written you should use ground beef, but there are chunks on the picture ? So which is it...
-
I know this is gonna sound strange but I think am gonna love this site. Your recipes sounds so good am making it tonight. I will post u tomorrow and tell how the ganged like the soup. ramona white
-
Fantastic ! Didn't have tha A1 but it was still fantastic
-
Our whole family loved this soup! It was very good! It had really good flavor! We would even like it without the hamburger. We will definitely make it again! Great for cold day!
-
I would deffinately try this out
-
This soup was filling a lot of flavor happening and I tasted a little of all the ingredients a great fall and winter soup . I have just added you to my face book and loving your recipes thanks
-
This is a great recipe! I did change a few things and next time I make I may change a few more, but it's pretty fabulous. Changes: I used 4 cloves of garlic instead of garlic powder, I used twice the amount of grated carrots, I used Italian sausage instead of ground beef, I used Italian seasoning instead of dried basil. I also went ahead and sauteed the onion and garlic with olive oil before adding the sausage to brown. Next time I'll probably use about half the ketchup and half the A1 and Worcestershire because it was a tad "saucier" than I like. Not bad at all, I mean I'm eagerly eating it as is, but I think I'd prefer it with a little less tang. Also want to add that I'm pretty sure this soup saved me from a pretty bad cold that I was trying to catch. I was feeling really crappy, sore throat, body aches, the beginning of a fever, and I ate a big bowl of this soup, which felt great on my throat, and next morning I was feeling waaaay better than I thought I would. So I say, better than chicken soup for a cold cure!!
-
How many servings does this make...and what size servings? Thanks! Looks fantastic!
-
Just made it & ate it! Yummy!! However, I agree just a bit too sweet. I won't toss it but do you think adding another can of tomato paste & some beef broth would help? Any suggestions...I'd appreciate it. Thank you! :)
-
Just fixed this for dinner. My family thought it was way too sweet. It was very hard to finish the bowl. Not sure what to do with the leftovers. I'd like to try it again but will use less than half the sugar and decrease the amount of Worcestershire and A1 sauces.
-
Yes, agree it is way too sweet. Family didn't like it. I would use tomato paste instead of ketchup and reduce or remove the brown sugar. I think that would fix the sweetness.
-
Made this tonight. I skipped the brown sugar. Did 2 tablespoons instead of 3 for A1 and worcestershire. Did about 1/2 cup of ketchup and added about 2 tablespoons of mustard. I did add the optional carrots. Also, I added 5 leaves of fresh basil and let them simmer with the soup and removed when finished. I also used about 3 cloves of fresh garlic.
-
We make this soup all the time, but ours is a lot simpler. Macaroni, ground beef, but we just mix it with tomato sauce and tomato juice, seasoned with salt and pepper, garlic, and onion if you want. I usually add onion salt or powder. Sometimes we add diced tomatoes as well, just depending on the mood. I will have to try this one though too, it sounds good! :)
-
Making this now but I was wondering could you also try to make Juniper's Cauliflower soup? I'd love to give that a try as well.
-
Ohh I forgot does it matter what kind of noodles is used, I was thinking of using Spaghetti O's instead Elbow noodles.
-
This soup is way way too sweet. Please review the recipe and reconsider the ketchup and brown sugar. I feel like I just wasted a bunch of great food.
-
Just made this recipe today. Did not change a thing. It was a big hit with the whole family! Will be keeping and making it again!
-
This was very good. I used 32oz off Beef stock instead of 45oz of beef broth. I liked the hardy taste of the A1 sauce and Worcestershire sauce.
-
This looks yum. I live in Australia and dont know what a1 sauce is. Can someone tell me please or can I leave it out.
-
Can you do this in a crock pot?
-
I'm going to make this tomorrow, but I think I'm going to skip the ketchup and brown sugar and replace it with a can of condensed Campbell's Tomato Soup.
-
I was wondering if you could put this in a crockpot?
-
This soup is fantastic! Thank you for sharing your recipes. Definitely making this again real soon.
-
Just the recipe I was looking for to use up leftover cooked pasta and chunky pasta sauce. So I followed the recipe with the exception of using the pasta sauce instead of the canned tomatoes, the ketchup, and the tomato paste and then did not use A1 or brown sugar. The grated carrots were a great addition but I also added some baby spinach for extra veggies. Topped with parmesan cheese. Thank you - great recipe that I'm sure will be made again!
-
Cant wait to try this. I love A1. It sounds so yummy. I'm always disappointed to see negative comments. Why do folks feel the need to do that.
-
Can this be frozen? I made this for my husband. I didn’t add the burger and I only used 1/2 cup of ketchup I also used real garlic that I sautéed with the onions. I also left. Out the sugar because it was sweet enough. It was very good.
-
I'm trying to find the nutritional info - you mention in the comments to click on the "magic" button...but I don't see it! How many calories per serving?
