Hamburger soup is one of those meals I love to make year-round. In the summer and fall it’s a great way to use veggies from the garden but you can also make it with canned or frozen vegetables as well.

I love that it has such a healthy portion of vegetables (like my crock pot chicken tortilla soup) but also the lean ground beef adds protein to keep you full! I like to serve it with some tasty crusty bread to make it a meal.
