    ❤️ Why you will love this recipe

    ✔️ This easy hamburger soup recipe is ran easy meal ready in just 30 minutes and makes 4 generous servings!

    ✔️ Hamburger soup is one of my favorite easy soup recipes that is packed with plenty of veggies and bring warmth on a chilly day.

    ✔️ It is a versatile recipe that can also be made in the slow cooker or instant pot.

    🥘 Ingredients

    Lean ground beef. For this hamburger soup, I like to use an 85/15 ratio of hamburger meat. It adds flavor with out adding too much fat.

    Yellow onion, garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper for flavor

    Diced tomatoes and beef broth are pantry staples that add to flavor and texture.

    Frozen vegetables,I like to use frozen mixed vegetables for ease and they fiber to the soup, as well as extra bulk.

    Italian seasoning is added for flavor.

    Bay leaf, is added while the soup is simmering and removed before serving.

    🔪 Instructions

    1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, saute 1 pound of ground beef with the onion, garlic, salt, and pepper until the beef is browned. Drain any excess fat from beef.
    2. Stir in the tomatoes, better than bouillon, vegetables, and hot water. Bring to a boil then reduce to medium heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
    3. Add the Italian seasoning. Simmer for 10 minutes. Serve warm.

    🥄 Equipment

    Soup pot, at least a 4 quart sized pot should be used.

    Wooden spoon with a flat head, I like to use one like this one to break up and stir the ground beef.

    Sharp cutting knife for chopping the onions and garlic.

    Soup ladle for serving from the pot to the bowl.

    I love these white soup bowls!

    🥫 Storage

    Hamburger soup can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container up to 1 week. Store in the freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months.

    📖 Variations

    • Substitute 1-8 ounce can of tomato sauce for the tomatoes and spice the soup up a teaspoon of chili powder.
    • Spice the soup up a teaspoon of chili powder.
    • Add some extra fiber to the soup and stir in a can of white beans or kidney beans.
    • Add 1 cup cooked barley for added bulk and fiber.

    💭 Tips

    • If you have leftover potatoes, dice them and add them to the soup or add ½ cup of dry pasta such as elbow macaroni for to make it even heartier.
    • For a thicker soup, add 1 tablespoon of tomato paste.

      I don't know if you've seen Arrested Development, but the first part of this post reminded me of "hot ham water" and I cracked up.
