easy and savory hamburger soup Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 2 (32 oz.) containers of beef broth
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- Handful of baby carrots, diced (I used about 8 or so)
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 small cup of frozen corn
- 1 small cup of frozen green beans
- 1 cup uncooked pasta
- 1 can of diced tomatoes with green chilies (like Rotel), undrained
- 2 cups of water
- 1/2 tbsp fresh thyme
- 1/2 tbsp fresh oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste (do this according to your liking)
instructions to cook an easy and savory hamburger soup
Step 1
In a large cooking pot add the olive oil and garlic over medium heat.
Step 2
Toss in the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the onion is translucent and stir often. This will only take a couple of minutes. Make sure you’re stirring – you don’t want your garlic to burn.
Step 3
Toss in the ground beef and use a large cooking spoon to crumble it and spread evenly throughout the bottom of the cooking pot.
Step 4
Once the beef is brown add the potatoes, beef broth, and canned tomatoes. Cook over medium to medium-high heat until the potatoes are tender. This will take about 20-30 minutes depending on how large you dice your potatoes. This is a good time to get your cornbread going in the oven.
Step 5
Once the potatoes are tender, add in the corn, green beans, and pasta. Starch can also be added depending on your preference.
Step 6
Add 2 cups of water, thyme, and oregano as well as salt and pepper. I do kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper. Let the soup cook, still over medium to medium-high heat, until the corn and green beans are no longer frozen.
Step 7
Get a clean spoon and taste the brothy goodness. Does it need more salt? Add a little more until you get the salty taste to your family’s liking. In my case, I ended up adding 2 tablespoons total of kosher salt. Feel free to use a clean spoon in between tastings. And this only takes about 15-20 minutes.
Step 8
As simple as that. Your cornbread will be ready. Use a ladle to add the soup to the bowls. Add some butter to your cornbread. Yum! Enjoy!
Our Experience Making this easy and savory hamburger soup
My mother would freak out if she knew I fed my kids potatoes, corn, and pasta all in one meal. Feel free to omit any of the starch you don’t want in the soup. I just could not part- I love them all in my soup!
For two of my boys who think the soup is too hot, I drained the broth and served it to them on a plate kind of like it is a casserole.
Such an easy dinner recipe! We also like to serve our soup with sweet cornbread, what about you?
