Hamburger Soup
(GF, DF, Paleo, Vegan SIBO & Low FODMAP-Friendly)
13 ingredients · 40 minutes · 12 servings
Directions
Prep all of the vegetables and cut into 1/2-1 inch pieces and set aside.
Brow the meat or rinse and prepare the beans and lentils.
Add the chopped veggies to the meat once it is almost browned and sauté together to let the flavours meld. If doing a veggie soup, sauté the veggies and add in the beans with a little oil and salt and pepper.
Place the meat/veggie or bean/veggie mixture into a large pot and add in the tomatoes and broth.
Add more broth as needed to cover the vegetables to allow them to cook. Add in the additional seasonings and the butternut squash or potatoes. Cook on medium to medium high heat for approx. 1 hour. Then simmer as long as you like to further enhance the flavour. If you plan to simmer for a while, ensure you add the potatoes for only 1-hour before you plan on eating, so they do not become too soft.
Always taste at the end and add more salt and pepper, garlic, Italian or basil as needed. Enjoy!
Notes
Instant Pot Option: You can also do this entire recipe in the instant pot. Brown the veggies or veggies and beans first and then add in all the additional ingredients and select the soup option for 30 minutes at normal pressure.
