A hearty hamburger soup recipe made with hamburger, mixed vegetables, V-8 juice, Ramen noodles, and beefy onion soup mix. Hamburger soup is one of our favorite weeknight dinners.

We usually have the ingredients on hand and it makes a hearty and satisfying winter meal. Everyone leaves the table content and happy when I make this recipe. Even my 11-year old son likes it and that is saying something!

My mother-in-law originally shared with us and it has been further modified by other family members to what we make today.

We Modified The Recipe!

The original recipe did not have the beefy onion soup mix nor the Ramen Noodle Soup, but we found adding those ingredients does add a lot of flavor. Also, we find we like the V-8 juice in this soup more than plain tomato juice, but that is up to you to decide. Sometimes that gets determined by what you happen to have on hand at the time.

One of the things that I appreciate about this soup is that you can make it in a single pot. If you have a large soup pot, you can brown the hamburger, garlic, and onions right in the pot and then add the rest of the ingredients. That makes for much easier clean up.
