List of Ingredients
Hamburger soups are everyone's favourite. This simple scratch version can be made with just about whatever vegetables you have in the fridge or freezer. It's super hearty a stew-soup or stoup as one of our recipe testing families commented.
Preparation: 15 minutes
Cooking: 40 minutes
Ingredients
1 lb (500 g) Extra Lean or Lean Ground Beef
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup (250 mL) EACH thinly sliced carrot, celery and zucchini
1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) dried Italian herb seasoning
1/4 tsp (1 mL) chili pepper flakes (optional)
1 can (28 oz/796 mL) diced tomatoes
1 pkg (900 mL) sodium-reduced chicken or beef broth *
1 can (213 mL) tomato sauce
1 cup (250 mL) shredded fresh spinach (optional)
1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped fresh parsley (optional)
1/2 cup (125 mL) broken whole wheat spaghetti
Directions
Cook beef, onion, garlic, carrot, celery, zucchini, Italian seasoning, and chili pepper flakes (if using) in Dutch oven over medium-high heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until meat is thoroughly cooked and any liquid has evaporated.
Add tomatoes, broth and tomato sauce; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add spinach and parsley (if using). Stir in pasta; simmer for 10 minutes or until pasta is tender.
Makes 8 servings.
*When Daisy mentions one box of vegetable broth I'm assuming it is the cardboard container of broths made by Swanson, etc. Any way I added a whole box plus a little more.
