What is hamburger soup

Hamburger soup (also known as ground beef soup) is a hearty soup recipe made with lean ground beef.

We make ours with a flavorful broth made from beef stock, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and our favorite Italian seasoning.

To make this a healthy recipe, we add all of our favorite veggies. We've got some potatoes, carrots, onion, celery, peas, and corn.

How to make hamburger soup

It's incredibly easy to make hamburger soup.

  1. Once you sautƩ the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery you add the ground beef to the pot and let it cook.
  2. Then push the veggies and beef to the side and add the tomato paste. After a few minutes, it will start to caramelize, which adds the best flavor to the soup.
  3. Then the rest of the ingredients to into the soup and you simmer it until the potatoes are soft.

If you'd like to add peas and corn, add them at the very end.

The full recipe is in the recipe card below.

Hamburger soup variations

The great thing about making this soup is that you can add any or all of the veggies you want and turn it into a hamburger vegetable soup. Here are a few of our favorites:

  • Bell peppers
  • Mushrooms
  • Zucchini
  • Green beans
  • Broccoli
  • Chopped cabbage

How long does hamburger soup last?

This soup will keep well for 3-4 days in your fridge, making it ideal for meal-prep!

Can I freeze this soup?

This recipe has potatoes in it, which don't freeze well. When potatoes thaw, they tend to get a funny, gritty texture.

If you'd like to freeze this soup, simply omit the potatoes. You can add them in when you're ready to eat the soup!

What to serve with this hamburger soup recipe

This is a heart soup recipe that can easily be served on its own for a filling meal. But if you'd like to add a side, here are a few we like:

  • No Yeast Bread with Herbs and Cheese
  • Whole Wheat Irish Soda Bread
  • Creamy Cucumber Salad
  • The Best Kale Salad
