Hamburger Soup Recipes

Hamburger Soup is simple to make, budget-friendly, and ready in about 30 minutes. It’s loaded with ground beef, pasta, and vegetables in a rich and flavorful broth.

I serve my Hamburger Soup with a simple Garden Salad and Beer Bread for a satisfying meal that everyone loves.

My recipe doesn’t have a ton of veggies in it, but I often add in what I have on hand like carrots, zucchini, green beans, or diced tomatoes. Frozen corn or frozen peas are easy additions.

You can saute raw vegetables, like carrots and celery, with the onions to soften. If using frozen vegetables, add them during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.

Keep leftovers fresh by storing them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave.

Without the pasta, this soup freezes beautifully. Let it cool, then pour into a freezer bag or into a freezer container and store in the freezer for up to 6 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and reheat in a pot on the stove, adding fresh pasta if desired.

Absolutely! Feel free to lighten it up with ground turkey or ground chicken instead of the hamburger. You’ll want to use chicken broth in place of beef broth in this case.

Add some smokiness with paprika or chili powder, or make it spicy with a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce. For added flavor, add a couple of teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce, or some herbs like oregano, basil, Italian seasoning and bay leaf.

You can boil ground beef! Place the meat in a large pot and cover it with water. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon or spatula then bring the water to a boil. Turn down the heat, cover, and simmer for several minutes or until the meat is fully cooked. Drain and season.

I have learned a few tricks over the years to keep this tasty soup fresh tasting, even with leftovers.
