Mike actually turned up his nose when I told him I was going to whip up this Creamy Potato & Hamburger Soup<\/strong>. He seriously thinks he doesn’t like hamburger in soups. Every time I talk about putting ground beef in a soup, he tells me he doesn’t like it. And then every single time I make a soup with ground beef in it, he loves it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seriously. The guy has this mental block about it. Hamburger soup is awesome, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Make Hamburger Soup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I swear that most of my soup concoctions are because I have a stuff in my freezer, fridge and pantry that I have to use up. I was desperately trying to use up potatoes before we went to the States for Christmas, I had some ground beef in my freezer and always those frozen veggies.Well, voila. This creamy potato & hamburger soup was the result of my cleaning out my freezer and pantry. Making hamburger soup is simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, you fry up the ground beef mixture until cooked then place into a crock pot or slow cooker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, you add in all the vegetables and spices ( NOT the milk products!) and cook for hours in the slow cooker, breaking down the ground beef into softer meat and the potatoes into smooth velvety goodness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you whisk in the dairy ingredients at the end and serve!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Different Hamburger Soup Recipes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The spices in my hamburger soup are different from the tomato based hamburger soup. I use parsley and basil with the garlic. When you are looking for a tomato based simple classic hamburger soup <\/a>you can use thyme or even Italian spices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is similar to my Crockpot Macaroni Cheeseburger Soup<\/a> which is pretty much one of my favourite soups of all time. This one isn’t as rich – though if you want to add more Velveeta cheese, feel free to do so! – and you can cut it with a dollop of sour cream on top if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, remember that Mike doesn’t like rich soups, so if he enjoyed this one it should be good for everyone. I love a thick, rich soup. Him? He pretends that he doesn’t like ground beef in soup, remember?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poor Mr Magpie. Good thing we love him so much!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy Hamburger Soup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This would be perfect for Christmas Eve after church, Christmas lunch, a New Year’s party or any ol’ time of the year. It’s going on the regular rotation soup list, for sure. I love how easy it is, how stick to the bones hearty it is and most of all, how Mike argues with me every time I make it. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can make this soup on the stove top, just follow the instructions and when it comes to cooking time, simmer on the stove in a large stockpot. Then at the end, add in the dairy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
