Veggie-Packed Hamburger Soup

Classic hamburger soup is made by simmering ground beef with veggies and a starch in a savory tomato-based broth. This Whole30 compliant version incorporates bell pepper, yukon gold potatoes, and fresh green beans, making it both colorful and nutrient dense. The resulting dish is more stew than soup, and is a hearty stick-to-your-ribs dinner that the entire family loves.

Step 1

Heat a dutch oven over medium high heat. Add the olive oil and heat until it shimmers. Add the ground beef and sautee, stirring frequently to break into pieces, until browned and no longer pink, 6-7 minutes

Step 2

Add the onion to the beef and saute until soft, stirring occasionally, 6-7 minutes.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the pot and add the garlic. Saute until fragrant, about a minute.

Step 4

Add the tomato paste and stir until incorporated into the beef and onions.

Step 5

Add the carrot, celery, bell pepper, and potatoes, then top with the pureed tomatoes, beef broth, salt, pepper, and herbs. Give the soup a good stir, then top with a bay leaf.

Step 6

Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 20 minutes.

Step 7

Add the green beans, and stir into the soup. Simmer an additional 5 minutes until the green beans are cooked through.

Step 8

Taste for seasoning and add additional salt and pepper if needed. Ladle into soup bowls and serve immediately.
