This Hearty Hamburger Soup is one I just tried lately and is another one to go in the tried and true folder. I’ve had a lot of hamburger soups but not many in this flavor category. Great soup.
I like a nice hearty, chunky soup any time of the year.
The recipe is very easy to change according to your families taste, adding whatever veggies you like! I added mushrooms ten minutes before serving.. delish!

Tips and Tidbits For Hearty Hamburger Soup
Add a splash of red wine and a splash of Worcestershire sauce for even more depth of flavor.
Substitute beef broth or stock for some of the water. Or instead of adding any water at all, put in 4 cups of beef stock and 2-3 cups of Clamato tomato juice–the juice is the magical ingredient here!
Try adding in 3 cloves of minced garlic, red pepper chili flakes and a bit of cayenne to pack on a little heat!
Enjoy!
