Creating Hamburger Soup is simple and straightforward. Follow these easy steps to make your own delicious version:
1. Cook the Beef: In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until it’s fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables soften.
3. Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with juice) and beef broth, stirring to combine.
4. Include the Potatoes: Add in the diced potatoes and bring the mixture to a boil.
5. Season: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.

7. Add Peas: In the last few minutes of cooking, stir in the frozen peas and allow them to heat through.
8. Taste and Adjust: Taste the soup and adjust seasonings as necessary, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
9. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if using.
