Hamburger Soup (for lack of a better name)

Roger wanted to go with a soup from his childhood this week. His mother used to make him this one, and she called it Hamburger Soup because it has ground beef in it. However, ground beef is the only thing it has in common with an actual hamburger. I don't like to the name hamburger because it makes it sound heavy when it's really rather light. I think the vegetable broth helps lighten it, so if you prefer a thicker soup, replace the vegetable broth with more beef broth.

This week's recipe is simple so when you're finished, leave an alternative name for the soup in the comments so we can find a better name.
