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
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
