How to Make Awesome Hamburger Soup
- In a large stockpot, brown 1 lb of ground chuck over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 2 stalks celery (chopped), and 1 cup carrots (chopped) to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 4 cups beef broth, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
- Add 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice.
- Continue to simmer for another 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the soup has thickened slightly.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) before serving and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
