Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey/chicken for a leaner option)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, diced (optional)
  • 1 potato, peeled and diced (optional, for a more filling soup)
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans or white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn kernels, drained (optional)
  • 4 cups beef broth or vegetable broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning (or herbs of your choice)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1-2 bay leaves
  • 1-2 cups fresh or frozen spinach (optional)
  • 1/2 cup small pasta (like elbow macaroni or small shells), optional
  • Olive oil for sautéing

Instructions:

  1. Brown the Beef:
    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef (or turkey/chicken) and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
  2. Sauté Vegetables:
    Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  3. Add the Rest of the Ingredients:
    Stir in the diced tomatoes (with juice), beans, corn (if using), diced potato, zucchini (if using), broth, water, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Simmer the Soup:
    Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. If you’re adding pasta, stir it in about 10 minutes before the soup is done, so it doesn’t overcook.
  5. Add Greens (if using):
    If you’re adding spinach or other greens, stir them in during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  6. Taste and Adjust:
    Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or Italian seasoning if necessary. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
  7. Serve and Enjoy:
    Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. This soup is delicious on its own or with a slice of crusty bread or a sprinkle of grated cheese.

Variations:

  • Beans: Feel free to swap the kidney beans for other beans, like black beans, garbanzo, or pinto.
  • Vegetables: You can use any vegetables you like or have on hand—peas, green beans, or bell peppers are great additions.
  • Ground Meat: Use any ground meat you prefer, or even a combination of meats (like beef and pork).

This Vegetable Hamburger Soup is flexible, filling, and a perfect comfort food that can easily be tailored to what you have in the fridge. Enjoy!
