Hamburger Soup Recipe
Description
This Hamburger Soup begins by sautéing aromatics such as onion, garlic, carrot, and celery in olive oil to build a flavorful base. Ground beef is browned until crumbly and combined with tomato paste to enhance umami and slight sweetness.
The addition of beef broth, canned diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and diced russet potatoes creates a robust soup body. Simmering softens the potatoes and melds the flavors, producing tender vegetables and meat in a tomato-rich broth.
Optional peas and corn can be stirred in near the end to add contrasting textures and subtle sweetness. The dish can be seasoned with salt and pepper to taste and served as a hearty lunch or dinner that is both filling and versatile.
For those following a paleo diet, the recipe notes that the corn should be omitted to align with dietary preferences.
