Hamburger Soup

It doesn't get more family-friendly than Ree's hamburger soup! She's been making it for her kids for years, and it never gets old, especially since you can switch up the veggies based on whatever you have on hand.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 lb. ground chuck
  • 1 whole large onion, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 14 oz. can whole tomatoes
  • 3 c. beef stock or beef broth, plus more as needed
  • 1 whole yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 whole red bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 whole green bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 4 whole carrots, peeled and sliced on the diagonal
  • 5 whole red potatoes, cut into chunks
  • 3 Tbsp. tomato paste
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper, more to taste
  • 2 tsp. dried parsley flakes
  • 1/2 tsp. ground oregano
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper, more to taste

Direction

  1. Brown the meat with the onion, celery, and garlic in a large pot over medium-high heat. Remove the pot from the heat and drain off as much fat as you can. (Discard the fat once it cools.)
  2. 2Return the pot to the heat and add the rest of the ingredients: whole tomatoes, beef stock or broth, bell peppers, carrots, red potatoes, tomato paste, salt, pepper, and spices. Stir to combine, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, then cover the pot and simmer the soup for 15 to 20 minutes more, until potatoes are tender but not overly mushy. 
  3. 3Taste and adjust the seasonings, adding more salt if needed.
