A warming bowl of homemade hamburger soup is pure comfort food, loaded with tender ground beef, hearty frozen vegetables, and a rich, flavorful broth that comes together in just one pot. Perfect for busy weeknights, this budget-friendly soup has become my family’s most requested dinner during cold winter months – especially when paired with crusty bread for dipping! I’ve been making this recipe for over a decade, tweaking it to perfection by using frozen vegetables instead of fresh ones, which not only saves precious prep time but ensures I always have the ingredients on hand for an impromptu batch when the craving strikes.
