Best Hamburger Soup Recipe
Of all our low carb soup recipes, this is definitely one of the best! We love how easy it is to prepare, it’s only two steps! Cook it one day and serve it for dinners and lunches all week long! Delicious served with cucumber salad with feta or an easy tomato salad!
Ingredients and Variations
MEAT – Ground beef is super tasty in soup! No hamburger? Use leftover meat like chicken or turkey, which are both equally low carb. Toss in some bacon bits for some extra flavor!
VEGGIES – This recipe has a colorful assortment of vegetables but cauliflower and cauliflower rice really make it hearty and filling. However, broccoli, spinach, zucchini, bell peppers, even mushrooms make a great addition to hamburger soup.
BROTH – A combination of beef broth and diced tomatoes with onion and garlic makes for a rich and savory soup base.
SEASONING – Italian seasoning gives this soup its signature Italian style flavor. Garnish with shredded Parmesan or Romano cheese!
How To Make Hamburger Soup
1-2 and done is all it takes to make this healthy soup! Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream, salsa, or the cheese of your choice and it still stays keto!
- Brown ground beef with onion and garlic until no pink remains. Bloom the spices by adding them to this mixture. Drain off any fat.
- Add remaining ingredients to the pot and bring soup to a boil. Simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
Recipe Tips & Tricks
- If you’re short on time, toss in a bag of frozen “vegetable medley” into the soup pot. They are already cut and ready to use and most medleys have low carb versions, including green beans, cauliflower, carrots, and peas.
- If cauliflower rice can’t be found, simply cut a whole cauliflower into quarters and run each piece through a food processor over a box grater until small rice-sized pieces are created. Easy peasy!

I really love this soup – it’s so hard to find low carb soups that taste good. I did add a cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the pot right before taking it off the stove just until melted. YUM!
