How do you make Hamburger Soup?

Start by heating a little olive oil in a Dutch oven or heavy stock pot. Then add the ground beef breaking it up with a spoon. When the ground beef is about halfway done browning, add the onions, carrots, and celery. Continue cooking until the beef is fully browned and the onions and celery are soft. Drain any excess grease from the pot.

Now turn the heat to low and stir in the oregano, basil, garlic powder, and onion powder, and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Then add the vegetable stock, potatoes, and green beans and bring the mixture to a boil. Simmer for 20 minutes. Finally, add the fire-roasted diced tomatoes and corn. Simmer for about 5 minutes or until everything is tender. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Helpful tips for making Hamburger Vegetable Soup

Dutch ovens are perfect for making soup, but if you don’t have one, a heavy stockpot will also work.
Lean ground beef works well, so you don’t have as much fat to drain off. You can substitute ground turkey, pork, or chicken.
Use red or yellow potatoes for soup. They will maintain their shape during the cooking process without breaking down. Do not use Russet Potatoes, as they will break down.
Other vegetables to add include zucchini, peas, kale, and spinach. Or add a cup of elbow macaroni or other medium pasta.
In a hurry? No problem, use frozen vegetables and save yourself some time.
For optimal flavor and texture, simmer just until the vegetables are soft.
Serve with Easy Sweet Maple Dinner Rolls or French baguettes with soft butter.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat or in the microwave.
This soup freezes well. To freeze, cool, then pour the soup into a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat or in the microwave.
