Mom and Grandma's Hamburger Soup
Published: 05/05/2020
This is a classic go-to recipe for soup in my family. It adapts well to whatever you happen to have on hand. I've added green beans, a can of corn, mushrooms, cooked beans, for instance with great results.
Having the right kitchen equipment makes cooking a pleasure. I consider my 30-quart stockpot an essential item. This professional grade large stockpot is one I use often for soup, sauces, canning.
Mom and Grandma's Hamburger Soup
½ to 1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey or ½ pound ground sausage
1 cup each:
Chopped onion
Chunked potatoes
Thinly sliced carrots
Shredded cabbage
Sliced celery
28 ounce can chopped or diced tomatoes, use good quality not the least expensive
3 cups water
2 tsp salt
¼ tsp dried basil
¼ tsp dried thyme
Bay leaf
Brown the ground beef and onion together until there is no pink in the ground beef. Drain off excess fat. Add all remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer one hour. Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary.
