Hamburger Soup: An Easy Weeknight Meal!

This Hamburger Soup is an Easy Weeknight Meal!  Loaded with ground beef and vegetables, this soup is hearty and delicious!

Well fall has definitely arrived!  It’s windy, the leaves are changing colours and there is a chill in the air, and I love it.  Really, really love it.  I especially love that this cooler weather means more cozy cooking…stews, oven dinners and soups…bring it on!

Just Simple and Delicious Ingredients

One of my favourite recipes to make in fall is Hamburger Soup.  It’s hearty and healthy and my whole family enjoys it.  This big batch soup is chock full of simple and delicious ingredients like lean ground beef, tomatoes, onions, celery, carrots and fresh herbs. So good.

An Easy Weeknight Meal

Start making your soup around 3 in the afternoon and you can have this delicious dinner on the table by 5!  After just a little prep time, your soup will simmer away for about 1 1/2 hours…your house will smell scrumptious!

Recipe Tips:

• Serve this soup with buns or crackers and cheese.
• This recipe makes a big batch, so if you have a small family you can freeze half.
• Hamburger Soup freezes well.
• Sometimes I like to add 1 or 2 chopped medium sized potatoes to this soup.
