Hamburger Soup
Description
In this Hamburger Soup, ground beef is sautéed with onions until browned, creating the base flavor. Potatoes and carrots are added to the pot along with beef broth, tomato sauce, bay leaves, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. The soup is brought to a boil and then simmered, allowing the vegetables to become tender and the flavors to meld. Broccoli florets are stirred in near the end of cooking to retain their texture and vibrant color.
The soup offers a balanced flavor from the rich beef broth and tomato sauce combined with aromatic bay leaves and seasonings. The vegetables provide both earthiness and sweetness, complementing the ground beef. This recipe is flexible with seasoning adjusted to taste with salt and pepper.
Hamburger Soup is a practical dish suitable for a warming lunch or dinner and serves as a nourishing, simple meal that can be prepared entirely in one pot.
