Use a mixture of frozen vegetables, or try a combination of peas, corn, bell peppers, turnips, sweet potatoes, cabbage, zucchini or mushrooms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spice it up:<\/strong> Add your favorite spice blend to the mix, from herbaceous Italian seasoning to spicy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-cajun-seasoning\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-cajun-seasoning\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Cajun seasoning<\/a>. You can also finish the soup with a splash of vinegar to brighten up the flavors, or with a dash of umami-rich <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-worcestershire-sauce\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-worcestershire-sauce\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Worcestershire sauce<\/a> for depth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Roast the vegetables:<\/strong> For additional flavor, try roasting your vegetables until they are halfway cooked. Add them to the soup, and adjust the simmering time based on the tenderness of the veggies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use another meat:<\/strong> You can use any type of ground meat in this recipe. Try wild game, pork or sausage to add bold flavor. Or look to lean ground turkey or chicken if you&#8217;re trying to reduce your intake of saturated fats.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Include pasta:<\/strong> Small <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/the-ultimate-guide-to-pasta-shapes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/the-ultimate-guide-to-pasta-shapes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pasta shapes<\/a> that fit on a spoon\u2014like macaroni, orzo, egg noodles or farfalle\u2014work particularly well in soup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Hamburger Soup<\/h2>\n<p>Store hamburger soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days, or in the freezer for up to three months. Reheat the soup on the stovetop until warmed through. The potatoes will absorb some of the liquid as the soup sits, so adjust the consistency as needed with added broth or water.<\/p>\n<h2>Hamburger Soup Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1970592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Hamburger-Soup_FT24_9728_EC_012424_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Hamburger Soup served in small bowls with bread.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can you make hamburger soup without beef broth?<\/h3>\n<p>We use beef bouillon granules and water to make our hamburger soup recipe, but you can make this recipe with any type of broth. Feel free to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-chicken-broth\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-chicken-broth\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">chicken broth<\/a> or vegetable broth instead. Doing so will change the flavor slightly, so adjust the seasonings as needed.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you thicken hamburger soup?<\/h3>\n<p>After the potatoes and carrots are tender, ladle 1 cup of hot broth into a bowl containing 4 tablespoons of flour and whisk until smooth. Add the slurry back to the soup. Stir and simmer until the green beans are tender and the soup is slightly thickened. If you\u2019d prefer to use a gluten-free thickener, try cornstarch, arrowroot or tomato paste.

I can certainly understand why your children request this one. This is in our regular rotation and I always make a double batch. Giving this four stars due to changes I made to suit our preferences. We prefer broth or stock to bouillon granules. If using store-bought broth, I prefer chicken. (Yes, even in a beef recipe. Commercially prepared chicken stock has more protein than its beef counterpart and therefore packs more flavor.) This is a versatile recipe that also works well with ground turkey and lends itself to any vegetables you have on hand. Corn, peas and kidney beans are all fine additions. I do not recommend using canned vegetables, with the exception of corn and kidney beans (or other legumes), which are bit sturdier. If you do use them, only add to the last 15 minutes of cooking. They are already cooked, so they only need heating up. If you can get them, fresh green beans make a world of difference here. I saut\u00e9 the onion in a little olive oil for 4-5 minutes and add in one clove of minced garlic for the last 90 seconds of saut\u00e9 time. I omit the salt and add a bay leaf to punch up the flavor a bit.  Those who want even more flavor can sub out the diced tomatoes for flavored diced tomatoes, e.g., with Italian herbs, fire roasted, etc. We like a high ratio of ingredients to broth in our soups, so I usually double the vegetables. Freezes nicely \u2013 assuming you have any leftover to freeze! Thanks for sharing this one, Barbara.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-01-30","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"PurpleCupcake"},"reviewBody":"So yummy and versatile.
