Ree always has ground beef on standby for quick and easy meals, such as this Speedy Hamburger Soup. It’s hearty, delicious and filling and it’s one of her husband’s favorite dishes. Substituting O’Brien potatoes for raw ones means it’s on the table in hardly any time at all.

Ingredients

2 pounds lean ground chuck

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons tomato paste

28 ounces frozen O’Brien potatoes

One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes

12 baby carrots, sliced into thin rounds

4 cups beef stock or beef broth, plus more as needed

1/2 teaspoon ground oregano

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Crusty bread, for serving

Directions

  1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, brown the meat in the olive oil. Add the garlic and tomato paste. Cook for 2 minutes, then add the O’Brien potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, stock, oregano, salt, pepper and cayenne.
  2. Stir to combine, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, then cover the pot and simmer the soup until the potatoes are tender but not overly mushy, 8 to 10 minutes.
  3. The soup should be somewhat thick, but if you'd like it to be more "soupy," add 1 to 2 cups more of broth or hot water and heat through.
  4. Garnish with the parsley and serve with crusty bread!

This is a very good soup. I think I will drain the hamburger after browning because the soup was greasy. I will par boil the carrots because they didn't cook enough. That said, this soup was great and is now part of my recipe folder.
