How to Make Easy Hamburger Soup
I always prepare a big pot of this hamburger vegetable soup in a Dutch oven on my stove top because it’s very easy and it comes together quickly. This isn’t one of those soups that takes hours to simmer on the stovetop. Instead, if you can brown some ground beef, you can handle this soup! That said, you can also adapt the recipe for the slow cooker, so you’ll find those directions below if you prefer the Crock Pot method.
Brown ground beef, onion, and garlic. Drain off excess grease.
Add vegetables, potatoes, broth, water, and seasoning. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low; cover, simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Crockpot Hamburger Soup
To prepare the hamburger soup in the slow cooker, brown the beef, onion, and garlic in a skillet and drain off the fat; transfer to the slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients, cover, and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours.
Serving Suggestions
