Hamburger Vegetable Soup
This easy but delicious hamburger vegetable soup is just what the doctor ordered for these cold winter days! Nothing warms the soul as much as a nice, warm bowl of vegetable soup! This vegetable beef soup recipe is my go-to recipe for the winter months because of how easy it is!
I love that there is minimal prep work with this recipe! Having two toddlers that love to help cook, they have a blast helping me cut the vegetables for this soup with their kid-safe knives. After that prep is done, all that is really left for this hamburger vegetable soup to be finished, is wait time!
