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

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.

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.

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

Even better? Kids LOVE this soup!!

Jimmy Nardello Sweet Italian Peppers

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 really mild, and they add a wonderful flavor to soups. If you can’t find these peppers, add pasilla or red bell peppers instead.

Garbage Soup aka Hamburger Soup

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.

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 want to use the Sauté button to precook the ground beef first. If you like Instant Pot recipes, this Instant Pot Vegetable Soup is also a big hit with the kids.
