Make this classic, comforting Hamburger Soup on the stovetop. This one-pot recipe uses ground beef, vegetables, potatoes, and noodles for a satisfying, easy family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup dry elbow macaroni or egg noodles
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas and corn)

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot with the beef. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Pour in the beef broth and add the diced tomatoes (with their juice). Stir in the cubed potatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  5. Increase the heat to medium and stir in the macaroni or noodles. Cook uncovered according to package directions, usually 8 to 10 minutes, until the pasta is done.
  6. Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving hot.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute 1 cup of the beef broth with 1 cup of tomato juice.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the simmering soup during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  • This recipe is a great base; feel free to add other vegetables like green beans or mushrooms.
