This Easy Hamburger Potato Soup is a simple one-pot, hearty soup made without barley, with hamburger, potatoes, carrots, onions, celery and a delicious beefy tomato broth. It's also Weight Watchers friendly.
Brown ground beef and onion in a large pot or Dutch oven, over medium heat on stove top, until browned and cooked through. (meat thermometer should read 165 degrees F/74 degrees C). Drain and return to pot if you're not using extra lean (and your ground beef has more than 10% fat).
Add all other remaining ingredients to pot with cooked ground beef and onion and stir until combined.
Simmer (covered) for 1 hour or until potatoes are cooked through (a fork can easily go through).
Serve hot with bread and butter, buns or biscuits.
Notes
Top Tip: Why you don't need to peel your potatoesAs you can see from the photos, I don't peel potatoes for this hamburger soup. If you are peeling your potatoes, unless you really enjoy extra work, you can stop now.The peel is the most nutrient-filled part of the potato so why would you want to peel all those nutrients away and add more unnecessary waste to the environment? Potato peels contain more iron than the flesh of the potatoes and they're also a good source of fiber, vitamin B, and vitamin C. . You can read more about why you don't need to peel your potatoes HERE  🌡️Storing This Easy Hamburger Soup RecipeFridge: Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridgeFreezer: This hamburger soup can be frozen for up to 3 months in an airtight container.  To Reheat: Reheat it in the microwave for 2-3 minutes or over low heat on the stovetop.🔢WW PointsThis Weight Watchers friendly hamburger soup is 5 WW points.
