  • Total Time: 7 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 cup diced yellow onion
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup diced celery stalk
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into -inch pieces
  • 15 ounces tomato sauce
  • 14.5 ounces petite diced tomatoes
  • 3 cups frozen mixed vegetables (corn, green bean, and carrot mix)
  • 32 ounces beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley, optional garnish

Instructions

  • Brown the beef: Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, diced onion, salt, and pepper. Let it cook for about 4-5 minutes, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until it’s browned and no longer pink. (If you’re in a hurry, you can skip browning, but it adds a nice depth of flavor.) Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beef and onions to the crockpot.
  • Add everything to the crockpot: Now, add the diced celery, tomato paste, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, potatoes, tomato sauce, petite diced tomatoes, frozen mixed vegetables, and beef broth to the crockpot. Give everything a good stir to combine.
  • Set and forget: Set your crockpot to LOW and cook for 7-8 hours. The long, slow cooking time allows the flavors to meld together beautifully, and the potatoes become tender and delicious. (If you’re short on time, you can cook it on HIGH for 4-5 hours.)
  • Serve and garnish: Once it’s ready, taste for seasoning and add salt or pepper if needed. Ladle it into bowls, sprinkle with fresh parsley if you like, and enjoy!

Notes

Storage and reheating tips

Hamburger soup stores well in the fridge for up to 4 days. Just let it cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container. For reheating, simply pop a bowl in the microwave for a minute or two, or heat it on the stovetop over medium until warmed through. If the soup has thickened up a bit in the fridge, just add a splash of broth or water to loosen it.

It also freezes beautifully! Divide it into freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, let it thaw in the fridge overnight and warm it on the stove.
