    This vegetable beef soup has been on repeat in our house. It's easy to make, filled with so many fresh vegetables and can be cooked on the stove top in about 30 minutes.

    Flavored with an Italian seasoning blend of oregano, rosemary, and thyme then gently simmered in a broth made with beef stock and tomato sauces. This easy hamburger soup is a complete meal and a great recipe for those busy weeknights.

    Start off by sauteing mixed vegetables, add in some extra lean ground beef, then finish it with potatoes and even more veggies. There is something for everyone in this soup.

    Make a double batch and have a fresh homemade soup for lunch all week. Add this healthy soup to your next meal prep.

    Are you a soup lover? Could you make soup every night of the week? So could I! Here are my other go-to soup recipes:

    Ingredients

    Ingredients all laid out in prep bowls and measuring spoons.

    Ground Beef: This recipe calls for a lean ground beef but ground turkey can also be used in its place.

    Yukon Potatoes: The best potatoes to use in their soup are Yukon gold potatoes. Baby red potatoes can also be used or even a can or two of kidney beans.

    Beef Broth: Use a good quality beef stock. My personal favorite is Better than Bouillon. Just add to hot water, mix and add to the soup. The best place to get it is Costco but can also be ordered on amazon.

    Full measurements in the recipe card.

    Instructions

    Heat a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat on the stove.

    A large Dutch Oven with onions sautéing in olive oil

    Add in olive oil and onions then sauté until soft and translucent. About 5 minutes.

    A large Dutch Oven with carrots and celery sautéing.

    Add in carrots and celery and continue to sauté until soft. About 3-4 minutes.

    Increase to medium-high heat and bring to a gentle boil.

    Reduce to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft.

    In the last 5 minutes, add in the green beans and corn to allow to heat up.

    The soup is done when the potatoes are soft and tender.

    Serve with some sourdough bread.

    Storage

    A spoon scooping out a bite of soup with green beans, beef, and potatoes.

    Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

    This soup freezes really well. Just keep in a freezer-safe container. Leave about 1" of head space to allow for expansion.

    When you want to reheat, take the soup out the night before and thaw in the refrigerator. Then, warm on the stove in a small pot.

    Variations

    Slow Cooker: This soup can be easily made in a slow cooker. Just brown the ground beef on the stove then add everything in the crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours.

    Ground Turkey: Ground turkey can be used in place of ground beef. Just substitute the beef broth for chicken broth.

    Cheeseburger soup: Add some cheese and make this a cheeseburger soup.

    Spicy: This soup can easily be made spicy. Use spicy Italian sausage instead of ground beef and add in some red pepper flakes.

    Substitutions

    Russet Potatoes or red potatoes: Either of these can be used in place of the Yukon gold.

    Frozen Vegetables can be used in place of canned. Just add them with the stock so it has a little longer to bring to temp.

    Equipment

    Large Dutch Oven or other soup pot: Make sure it's at least 7 quarts or bigger.
