This Hamburger Soup recipe is a staple at my house. Here’s what I love about it:
Paleo Hamburger Soup with Beef and Veggies
- It’s the perfect way to use up homemade beef bone broth.
- Aside from simmer time, this soup is quick to assemble.
- I can “sneak” in plenty of veggies my kids might not otherwise eat.
- And of course, it’s a one-pot meal and is easy to store and reheat.
- Oh, and the recipe came from a dear friend, and I always think of her when I make it.
The story behind the soup
Here’s the backstory…Picture a young newlywed, literally scribbling down a recipe as fast as possible in a grocery store while learning about cuts of meat and such from an older married friend. Of course, she tweaked it a bit to fit her own needs and to meet Real Food standards.
Don’t you just love recipes that evolve like that?
Soup-er nourishing
Hamburger Soup is super (or souper, hehe) nourishing, especially if you make it with Homemade Beef Bone Broth. It’s also pretty easy to whip up, which makes it a regular family meal at my house. I love to make a huge batch and eat the leftovers all week long.
We like to eat this soup with these easy Almond Flour Biscuits.
