HOW TO MAKE EASY HAMBURGER SOUP

• Broth: Pour the beef broth and tomato sauce over the top of the beef mixture. Add the diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning in then mix it all together.
• Cook: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and continue to cook it with the pot uncovered for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes add the frozen peas, carrots, corn, and green beans. Let it simmer for another 15 minutes until they’re tender.

VARIATIONS ON HAMBURGER SOUP

• Meat: Instead of using ground beef you could also use stew meat or chuck roast cut into bite-sized pieces. If you’re trying to avoid saturated fat use lean ground beef. Another way to change things up is by using ground turkey or ground chicken. Just keep in mind that these options won’t taste as similar to a hamburger.
• Filling add-ins: If you’re serving this to a bigger group and want to add some more filling ingredients besides the beef you could put in russet potatoes or pasta like tortellini, ditalini, or egg noodles.
• Cheeseburger: To make this Hamburger Soup taste like a classic cheeseburger add some shredded American cheese over the top of the soup before serving.
• More add-ins: There are lots of other add-ins you can try in Hamburger Soup. To change up the flavor try mixing in some Worcestershire sauce or BBQ Sauce along with the tomato and beef broth. You could also toss in some other vegetables like chopped celery, bell peppers, and fire-roasted tomatoes. For some more flavor add-ins try seasonings like onion powder, garlic powder, bay leaf, or minced garlic.
