Hamburger Soup
One big regret I have is not getting the recipe for my Grandma June’s Hamburger Soup. She passed away at the end of 2012. I miss her dearly. I was lucky enough to get some of her handwritten recipes. I’ve already shared her Hurry Chicken. I decided to take a crack at her Hamburger Soup and see if I could get it close. Grandma June always referred to it as “Hamburg soup”.
Beef was always plentiful around grandma’s house. Her life partner, Clarence, is a beef farmer and she always had a freezer full of his beef.
I hope my grandma approves of this version of her soup. I love it because it’s hearty, filling and flavourful. It’s pure comfort food that is perfect to enjoy on a cold winter’s day when you’re tucked inside the house.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family has. Every time I make it, I think fondly of all the precious memories I have of my grandma.

Hamburger Soup
My version of my grandma’s favourite soup. It’s hearty, filling and flavourful. Enjoy a piping hot bowl on a cold winter’s day.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
- 1 onion, diced
- 28 oz can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup water
- 3 10 oz cans consomme
- 10 oz can tomato soup
- 3 celery stalks, diced
- 4 carrots, peeled and diced
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 2 cups small pasta shells, uncooked
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
- In a large pot, cook ground beef and onions on medium high heat.
- Once beef is browned, add in the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine.
- Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low. Simmer for 40 minutes. Serve hot.
This looks delicious and comforting. I bet grandma would approve. 🙂

This soup looks so delicious and easy to make. It would be great right now to have some because it is so cold outside! Thanks for an awesome recipe. I am going to make it.
Looks delicious! I would call it a stew though. I do something like this and I call it a chili; it has no pasta.
Sounds like a nice hearty soup. I have pinned it to try it out. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks i have all the ingredients i’m going to try this on the weekend !!
This sounds very tasty. I would eat it with bread or rice
I’ve don’t believe that I’ve ever had hamburger soup, but these photos do tempt me to give it a try, looks delicious. 🙂
Hamburger soup has always been one of my favourites, I love it with green beans and zucchini too.
Funny enough, your recipe is very similar to the one I have (one ingredient off) and the first recipe I ever learned to make… 🙂
We often have Soup Sundays.. this looks like one I would like to try!
The perfect winter soup.
That does look warm & filling on a cold winter’s day.
Would this work in a slow cooker?
I haven’t tried it in the slow cooker, but I bet it would work there too.
Can you use turkey meat instead of beef?
I think ground turkey would work too!
This is one soup my whole family loves.
This looks so tasty ! What a great recipie for these cold winter days
This sounds extremely delicious! I’d totally love it.
This just might be what I make for dinner tonight. Thanks for sharing!

Are the shells cooked or uncooked? If uncooked when di you add to the soup?
Hi Marilyn! They are uncooked. Put them after you brown the ground beef along with the rest of the ingredients.
Can I make this in a crock pot? How long and when do I put the noodles in? I’m so excited to try this, Thank You for posting!
I haven’t tried it in the crockpot but I’m sure it would work. I would put the noodles in uncooked about half way through and let them cook in the crockpot. I’m thinking on low for 6 to 8 hours. If you try it, let me know what you did and how it turned out!

What is the calorie count of this soup? I would think it wouldn’t be too high. Thanks
