Hamburger Soup

Hamburger Soup is a hearty and savory soup featuring browned lean ground beef, combined with chopped onions, carrots, celery, garlic, potatoes, and beef broth. Fire-roasted tomatoes and tomato sauce enrich the base, while Worcestershire sauce adds depth. Herbs like oregano and thyme infuse earthiness, and peas and parsley finish the dish with color and mild sweetness.
