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 🙂

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 officially fall, 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.

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.

The goal of this 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. Broccoli? Great, cook it in. Use those veggies that will spoil soon.
