Instructions:

Brown Ground Beef: Start by browning the ground round in a dutch oven over medium heat until it’s nicely browned and cooked through.
-
-
Deglaze with Wine: Once the beef is browned, add a splash of wine to the pot to deglaze the pan. It’s best to remove the pot from the stove before adding the wine. Stir well to loosen up all the flavorful bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. After deglazing, return the pot to the stove.
-
Simmer: Allow the wine to simmer with the beef mixture for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Add Vegetables: Now, it’s time to add in the star ingredients! Toss in the potatoes (peeled and diced), tomatoes (chopped), corn (cut off the cob), green beans (trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces), carrots (peeled and sliced), and chopped onion. If you’re using bouillon, sprinkle it in now. Don’t forget the onion soup mix! Pour in the water, and season with ground pepper to taste.
-
Simmer Again: Let everything simmer together for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded into a harmonious symphony of taste.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Ladle this hearty Hamburger Veggie Soup into bowls and serve piping hot alongside your favorite bread for dunking. It’s a meal that’s sure to warm your soul and leave you feeling satisfied.
