Hearty Hamburger Vegetable Soup – one of my favorite things about hamburger soup is its versatility. It’s the perfect “use what you’ve got” meal, where almost any vegetable hanging out in your fridge or pantry can join the party and still result in a warm, delicious bowl of comfort.
Whether it’s the last few carrots from a forgotten bag, some slightly wilted celery, or those potatoes you’ve been meaning to use, they all have a place in this soup. The rich, savory flavor from the seasoned ground beef and broth ties everything together beautifully, no matter what combination you toss in.
This soup isn’t just practical—it’s also hearty and satisfying. It’s the kind of meal that fills your belly and warms your soul, especially on those chilly days when you need something cozy simmering on the stove. Plus, it’s a great way to reduce food waste and make the most of what you already have on hand.
So grab that ground beef, raid your fridge for veggies, and let’s make a pot of something delicious. Trust me, you can’t mess this one up!

Add celery, carrots and the 1 tsp of Italian seasoning and sauté for 1 minute.

Notes
