Description

This hearty Hamburger Soup is a comforting and flavorful meal perfect for chilly days. Made with ground sirloin, fresh vegetables, savory broth, and a blend of seasonings, this slow-cooked soup offers a deliciously rich taste and tender texture. The addition of peas near the end of cooking keeps them vibrant and fresh, creating a satisfying, well-rounded dish served best with crackers or crusty bread.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 pound Ground Sirloin (cooked and crumbled)

Vegetables

  • 1 large yellow onion (chopped)
  • 4 large white potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 4 large carrots (peeled and sliced)
  • 1 Tablespoon Garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 package Frozen Peas

Liquids and Broth

  • 4 cups Chicken Broth
  • Water (enough to cover ingredients about 3 inches)

Condiments and Seasonings

  • 1 (6-8 ounce) can Tomato Paste (with Basil, Garlic, and Oregano)
  • 2 Tablespoons Lipton Onion Soup Mix
  • 1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • Garlic Salt (to taste)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Sirloin: In a large heavy bottom skillet, cook the ground sirloin over medium heat until fully browned and no pink remains. Crumble it as it cooks for even texture.
  2. Season the Meat: Sprinkle the cooked sirloin with garlic salt and seasoned pepper, stirring well to coat evenly, then transfer it to the Crock-Pot.
  3. Add Chopped Onion: Add the chopped yellow onion directly into the Crock-Pot with the meat.
  4. Prepare and Add Root Vegetables: Peel the potatoes and carrots, dice the potatoes, and slice the carrots before adding them to the Crock-Pot.
  5. Add Garlic and Broth: Stir in the minced garlic and pour in the chicken broth.
  6. Add Tomato Paste and Seasonings: Incorporate the canned tomato paste, Lipton onion soup mix, and Italian seasoning. Then add enough water to cover the ingredients by about three inches.
  7. Season to Taste: Stir everything well and add garlic salt, seasoned salt, and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  8. Add Brown Sugar: Stir in the brown sugar to balance the flavors.
  9. Slow Cook the Soup: Place the lid on the Crock-Pot and cook on high setting for 6 hours, stirring occasionally to blend flavors.
  10. Add Peas near End: About 45 minutes before serving, add the frozen peas to the soup and stir well to prevent overcooking so they retain their bright green color.
  11. Maintain Pea Color: Adding peas late in cooking helps them maintain their vibrant green color and fresh texture.
  12. Adjust if Not Serving Immediately: If not ready to serve at the 6-hour mark, switch Crock-Pot to low heat and add water as needed to keep the soup at desired consistency.
  13. Serving Suggestion: Serve the soup hot with your favorite crackers or bread for a complete, satisfying meal. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Adding peas late in the cooking process preserves their vibrant color and texture.
  • Adjust water levels as needed during slow cooking to keep the soup from becoming too thick or dry.
  • Season to taste at the end since saltiness can concentrate during long cooking.
  • Serving with crackers or crusty bread complements the rich flavors of the soup nicely.
