Simple Country Hamburger Vegetable Soup

This country hamburger vegetable soup is hearty enough to be a meal, yet tasty enough to get your kids to eat their veggies. This easy hamburger soup recipe will become a family favorite if you love hamburgers.

It is starting to cool off here in the Bay Area. Evenings are cool, and nights are almost chilly in the mid-60s. It is finally fall, which is my favorite time of year.

I humbly like to call this my garbage soup. You can use any vegetables that are about to go bad, and it will still taste amazing. If you love soup as much as we do, check out all of my best gluten free soup recipes.

Hot soups are back on the menu, so get ready for this delicious kid-friendly soup. This hearty hamburger vegetable soup recipe can accommodate any vegetables. I like to use ground beef, but you can use any ground meat in this gluten free soup recipe. If you love this recipe, you will want to try my gluten free chili mac soup recipe too!

I used what I had in my refrigerator, including some beautiful Jimmy Nardello Sweet Italian peppers.

I found these organic peppers at our local farmer's market. I am a pepper girl, but I wasn't sure what to do with them. I asked the farmer for some ideas. I found out these peppers are delicious in any cooking because they are mild; they are even perfect whole if you toss them on the grill first.

These peppers are mild and add a wonderful flavor to soups. If you can't find these peppers, add pasilla or red bell peppers instead.

The goal of this hamburger soup recipe isn't to be spicy; it is to be a hearty, flavorful meal. This soup is my answer to food waste. You can use any vegetables in this paleo soup recipe; look in your refrigerator and see what you have.

What vegetables can you use?

The sky is the limit to what vegetables to add to this soup. Pick the veggies your kids like to eat, and this soup will disappear. I love to put it into a hot insulated thermos with a wide opening and pack it into their school lunchbox. (This is our favorite because I can use a different color for each family member...and my daughter likes turquoise LOL.)

• Broccoli
• Green beans
• Asparagus
• Cauliflower

Can you use other meats?

You can use any meat you like in this recipe. If you want to keep the fat down, use ground turkey or chicken.

• Ground turkey
• Ground pork 
• Ground chicken

Can this soup be made in an Instant Pot?

I love using my new Instant Pot, and I can say you can definitely make this soup in an Instant Pot. You will first want to use the Sauté button to precook the ground beef. If you like Instant Pot recipes, this Instant Pot Vegetable Soup is also a big hit for kids.
