Hearty Vegetable Soup

by

A hearty vegetable soup the whole family will love! This ground beef vegetable soup is one of my favorite easy soup recipes! It’s similar to a delicious hamburger soup, but with a few more veggies and seasonings. One of my all-time favorite things to make during the winter is vegetable soup with homemade cornbread. Perfect on a cold winter day. Make it with me!

What You’ll Need to Make Hearty Vegetable Soup

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 18 oz container Trader Joe’s Holiday Hash (or about 1/2 cup each butternut squash and sweet potato small diced, and 1/4 cup each small dice of red onion, & celery)
  • One can 15 ounce diced tomatoes
  • 1 can 15-ounce cannellini beans
  • 8 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup ditalini pasta
  • 2 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic, 3 cloves
  • To serve top with grated parmesan cheese

Trader Joes Holiday Hash

The inspiration for this soup was from the Trader Joes Holiday Hash veggie mix I bought this week. I’ve bought this mix before and have used it for different recipes and loved it! It has such a great flavor and it’s so easy to use since the veggies are all diced up nicely.

However, I am aware that this is a seasonal item at Trader Joe’s but you could easily make a homemade version for this recipe. It’s made up of diced sweet potatoes, butternut squash, celery, red onion, parsley, sage, and rosemary.

Here are what’s in it:

  • 1/2 cup diced sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 cup diced butternut squash
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup diced celery
  • Teaspoon parsley
  • Teaspoon sage
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary
