Hamburger Soup

Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables: Peel and dice the onion, carrots, and potatoes. Dice the celery. Set aside.

2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened and fragrant.

3. Brown the Beef: Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until well-browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess fat if desired.

4. Add Seasonings: Stir in the paprika, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute until the spices are fragrant.

5. Simmer the Soup: Add the diced carrots and potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine. Pour in the broth and bring the soup to a boil.

6. Cook Until Tender: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 15 minutes.

7. Add Frozen Vegetables: Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables. Return to a gentle simmer and cook, uncovered, for another 10-15 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.

8. Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and enjoy!

Enjoy your meal! 🍲😋
