HAMBURGER SOUP INGREDIENTS
You’ll need:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion
- 1 stalk celery
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 medium potatoes
- 5 cups beef broth
- 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 8-ounce can tomato sauce
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 3 cups of frozen mixed vegetables (corn, green bean, carrot mix)
SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
FROZEN VEGETABLES: I use frozen veggies for this delicious soup, but you could also use fresh if you prefer. Mushrooms, cabbage, zucchini, squash, peppers, or beans would be a great addition, too! However, I do love how quick and easy the frozen vegetables are.
ONION: I love sweet onions in this beef soup recipe, but you could also use white or yellow onion.
POTATOES: Russet potatoes are a great option for this recipe because they are nice and starchy. You could also use red potatoes. Some people substitute the potatoes for rice, barley, or pasta such as elbow macaroni or egg noodles.
BROTH: You can use low-salt beef broth if you would like to. I’ve also heard tips to substitute half beef broth and half chicken broth for a different flavor. I haven’t tried that, let me know if you do!
BEEF: You’ll definitely want to drain the excess grease off the hamburger after cooking. You can make this step easier by using lean beef. Or, you could use ground turkey, ground chicken, or ground pork, if you’d prefer.
ADD-INS: Some folks like adding cream of mushroom soup to this recipe to make the broth creamy. Others have suggested adding half a teaspoon of yellow mustard — or onion soup mix — for extra flavor!
HOW TO MAKE THIS HAMBURGER SOUP RECIPE
STEP ONE: In a medium-sized soup or stock pot, brown ground beef, diced onion, celery, and garlic until no pink remains in the ground beef. Drain any excess fat.
STEP TWO: Add potatoes, broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce, Worcestershire, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and simmer for 10 minutes.
STEP THREE: Add the frozen vegetables.
STEP FOUR: Simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
PRO TIP:
Sprinkle a little bit of parmesan cheese on top or add shredded cheese before serving.
HOW TO SERVE
Serve your hearty hamburger soup with a green salad and fresh-baked, warm beer bread, cornbread or cheese biscuits. Or make our cheesy pull apart bread — you won’t be disappointed.
