Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- 1 onion small, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 diced tomatoes 796 mL
- 1 tomato soup 284 mL
- 1 beef broth 900 mL
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups mixed vegetables frozen
- 1 tsp worcestershire
- ½ cup ketchup
- ⅔ cup elbow noodles uncooked
- 1 ¼ tsp parsley dried
- ½ tsp basil dried
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Heat a medium-sized skillet at medium heat, and add garlic and onion. Sautee for 2 minutes.
- Add in fresh ground beef.
- Cook meat until cooked through and juices run clear.
- Prepare your crockpot or Dutch oven with all remaining ingredients EXCEPT the noodles. Set the crockpot to high or your Dutch oven on low-medium.
- Once the meat is cooked add it to the crockpot or the stock pot.
- Leave the crockpot on high and cook for 4 hours and then add the noodles after 3.5 hours. If using a Dutch oven simmer the soup on low-medium heat for 45 mins. Add noodles and simmer for another 8-10 minutes, until noodles are tender.
- Serve into soup bowls and garnish with parmesan cheese, and a side of garlic toast or garlic fingers.
Notes
Best served with garlic toast or garlic fingers.
TIPS
Brown the beef: Always make sure you brown the ground beef beforehand. Not only does this ensure that the meat is cooked through but it ups the flavour. Browning the meat helps caramelizes the taste.
HOW TO PREP AHEAD
You can easily prepare this easy hamburger soup recipe ahead of time. Simply pre-cook the ground beef, let it cool, and store it in an airtight container in the fridge.
Measure the spices, cover, and set aside on the countertop.
Measure out the frozen mixed vegetables, and refrigerate.
Measure out and combine all the wet ingredients into a mixing bowl, cover, and refrigerate.
Measure out the macaroni, cover it, and set it aside on the countertop.
Once you are ready to add everything to the crockpot, set it up on high, add in your beef, the liquid ingredients, and the vegetables and follow the rest of the crockpot cooking instructions in the recipe card below, leaving the macaroni for last.
Add the macaroni at the end: Don’t add the macaroni until the soup has cooked for 3.5 hours. You don’t over cooked pasta noodles. A half-hour will do the trick!
