This soup is my all-time fave! It is what I cook the most frequently for my daughter and myself and is quite simple. Although we use garden vegetables in the spring, using standard canned goods is the simplest option. You can do it either way, and it’s amazing.

My husband and I both loved this! Definitely making this again.
Good base recipe, though a bit bland for my taste. Skipped the green beans, added plenty of beef broth, smoked paprika and cayenne. Then it was truly delicious as well as hearty and satisfying.
It turned out awesome,
Great basic recipe. We use canned mixed vege’s. Try rice instead of potatoes, crushed tomatoes and tomato soup. Cook onions and chopped red bell pepper with your hamburger and add some garlic. Never use water, always broth please. Almost forgot ! Add a splash of Colavita Balsamic Vinegar for a memorable flavor !
A little bland, despite adding some Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, and garlic salt, but a good basic recipe…
This came out better than I thought it would! I added onion and garlic when I browned the meat, and added some oregano and a little salt and pepper. I also used fresh carrots and string beans. My family loved it! And it was even better the next day!
I made it following the recipe, except that I used fresh carrots instead of canned. I added a bit more liquid to compensate for not using canned. The soup was delicious! My husband even had seconds and said the recipe is a “keeper.”
Cooked half an onion and one garlic clove with the meat. Added some oregano and basil as well. Then topped with parmesan cheese and a scoop of sour cream.
So simple but very tasty. Love the quick turn out for something tasting home made. Use what you love and you won’t go wrong. Added fresh onion and garlic, a shot of Worcestershire, and rotel tomatoes for a little kick. I have made it as written, too. You just can’t go wrong with this basic recipe, but can also make it your own. Thanks for a great, easy, very tasty recipe!
Very good! Only I used beef stock instead of water! And cooked onions with the hamburger!
Very quick and easy to make …. it was loved by all that ate it . I put fresh carrot and frozen corn in it. Next time I would put more Hamburg in it . It made a good amount . Enough to feed 6-8. I froze a bowl for another day meal …… it was perfect ! A hearty meal ready in minutes !
DELISH! I will definitely make this again. I used all the ingredients except for not so much water since the canned veggies, etc., undrained, already provided the liquid. I thew in extra spices & a cubed onion. It’s all good! 🙂
The whole family loved it. I did replace some of the water with vegetable stock I had on hand. I also used a variety of fresh and frozen vegetables because that is what I had on hand.
Made this tonight for supper, and it was WONDERFUL! I used fresh carrots, added minced onion, some splashes of Worcester, and ended up increasing the water by adding 2 extra cups near the end – wanted more broth in my soup. It was still pretty thick – might add another cup next time. Easy meal for a cold Michigan winter night, and the kiddos enjoyed it, too.
Fantastic. Love this soup. Easy prep and as others recommended I added onion, garlic, and oregano.
Thank you very much for this yummy recipe! I have a house of 7 and they all have full bellies and want it again next week! Thanks again 🙂
i ended up going back and adding a pound of italian seasoned ground beef because i felt it was way too much veggies and very little hamburger. flavor was good though, but i also added some italian seasonings to the pot. Then topped each serving with a sprinkling of romano cheese blend. pretty good on a cold day!
Simple and tasty – good for a quick meal on a cold day. Completed the meal with a pan of cornbread!
Super easy! Added a package of dry onion soup mix and Worchestshire sauce for flavour. Used fresh veggies instead of canned. I left out the green beans and opted to add celery instead. I let this simmer for several hours to boil the potatoes down a bit and it turned out great. So yummy. Would awesome in the slow cooker too. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
I love this recipe. Its very easy. I was uncertain whether I should drain the tomatoes or not, but I chose not to and it turned out fine! I’ll likely make this a lot. Both a fresh and canned version.
Good soup..even better the next day! A very forgiving recipe…I can see how you can change it up per your taste at the time, or the ingredients you have on hand. I used ground turkey instead of beef, omitted the green beans, used fresh carrots, and added onions and garlic. Turned out great! thanks!
