🥘 Ingredients

Lean ground beef: For this hamburger soup, I like to use an 85/15 ratio of hamburger meat. It adds flavor without 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, breaking the meat as it cooks, 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.

🥄Equipment

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

Meat chopper: this is an excellent tool to use to break up and stir the ground beef.

Chef knife: for chopping the onions and garlic.

Soup ladle for serving from the pot to the bowl.

I love these white soup bowls!

🥫 Storage

Refrigerate: stored in an airtight container up to 1 week.

Freeze: store in a freezer-safe airtight container for up to 3 months.

Reheat: gently reheat soup in a large pot on the stove top or in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave until warmed through.

📖 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.
