Make this hearty, comforting hamburger soup on the stovetop. This easy recipe uses ground beef, potatoes, and mixed vegetables for a satisfying family meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas and corn)

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the olive oil, chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot with the beef. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Pour in the beef broth and add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), diced potatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables. Cook for another 5 minutes, uncovered, until the vegetables are heated through.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving hot.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use low-sodium beef broth and add a splash of Worcestershire sauce during the simmering stage.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the soup during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  • This soup freezes well for later meals. Cool completely before transferring to an airtight container.
