Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 can (14 oz/400g) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 cups beef or vegetable broth
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until they become soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until it’s browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into smaller pieces with a spoon as it cooks.
  3. Stir in the diced potatoes, red bell pepper, green beans, peas, and carrots. Season with dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to combine all the flavors.
  4. Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice and the beef or vegetable broth. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
  5. Once the Hamburger Soup is ready, ladle it into serving bowls. Garnish each bowl with chopped fresh parsley to add a burst of color and freshness.

Notes

You can customize this soup by adding other vegetables like corn, celery, or spinach, based on your preference. If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can stir in a tablespoon of tomato paste while simmering. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and can be easily reheated for a quick and comforting lunch or dinner. Enjoy!
