Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 carrots sliced
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • 2 medium potatoes diced
  • 1 cup green beans chopped
  • 1 can 14 oz diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions
 

Brown the Ground Beef

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground beef. Cook until browned completely. Break it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat for a lighter soup.

Cook the Aromatics

  • Add chopped onion and garlic to the pot. Stir well. Cook for about 3 minutes. The onion should become soft and fragrant. This step builds strong flavor.

Add the Vegetables

  • Add carrots, celery, potatoes and green beans. Stir everything together. Cook for 5 minutes. This helps the vegetables start softening before adding liquids.

Pour in Liquids

  • Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and beef broth. Stir well. Drop in the bay leaf. Bring the soup to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Season the Soup

  • Add salt, black pepper and Italian seasoning. Stir well. Reduce heat to low. Let the soup simmer gently for about 30 minutes until vegetables become tender.

Taste and Adjust

  • Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste the soup carefully. Add more salt or pepper if needed. Let it simmer a few extra minutes if you prefer thicker texture.

Serve Warm

  • Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Serve immediately while warm. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy this comforting Pioneer Woman Hamburger Soup Recipe with your family.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef for less grease.
  • Cut vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking.
  • Simmer longer for deeper flavor.
  • Add frozen corn or peas for extra color.
  • For a thicker soup, mash some potatoes inside the pot.
  • You can add a little pasta for variation.
