Ingredients and Variations
Ground Beef – Make this recipe extra juicy by mixing in some seasoned Italian sausage or some sliced summer sausage along with the ground beef. In a pinch for time? Toss in a bag of frozen meatballs in Step 2.
Vegetables – Choose any variety of frozen vegetable medley you like best. No need to thaw them first, just toss them in! Bulk up the soup with chunks of chopped cabbage, carrots, and celery. Peeling the potatoes is strictly optional, unpeeled potatoes make the soup more rustic and hearty.
Broth – A can of tomato soup creates the creamy base for ground beef soup, but you could also use cream of mushroom or French onion soup. Add a can of Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chiles) for a spicy kick of flavor.
Variations – Ground beef soup is ideal for using up leftover veggies, and even cheese from the fridge! Bulk up ground beef soup by adding cooked elbow macaroni, wide egg noodles, orzo, or any variety of canned beans (be sure to drain and rinse first).
