Oh, my! This is so good! Quite possibly the BEST vegatable soup I've ever had. All did different was add some ground pepper. Served this with French Bread Rolls To Die For from this site.

I love this recipe, although I added my own touches. I added garlic and dried onion when I browned the beef. Then since I used 2 small cans of petite diced tomatoes. Didn't have any tomato sauce, so I added beef mushroom soup. I followed the recipe otherwise. Will definitely make this again! Next time might take advice of others and also add some kidney beans before serving.

My husband made this a while back when I was on nights... he liked it but I kinda felt like I was eating watered down tomato sauce with veggies mixed in. If you look closely at the recipes... that's exactly what it is!

This soup was pretty tasty. I added a can of Kidney Bean's, and kicked up the heat with some red pepper chili flakes. I also cooked up about a 1/2 cup dried elbow noodles, and added those to the soup when the soup completed cooking. My husband added a bit of chedder to the top of his soup, and we served it with corn bread.

Yummy, easy, and healthy, just the way I like it. I used the no salt added tomato sauce and tomatoes and it still tasted great! This soup is a little bit on the sweet side, which makes it a nice surprise for a warm soup. It's worth the try. Enjoy!

This tasted bland. Everyone ate one bowl but no one wanted seconds. If I make again I will add more spices.

This was really good (I used diced tomato with onion and green peppers). My hubby's not much of a soup eater as a meal, but he liked this...he thinks I should add more meat the next time. :-) Thanks for a great recipe.

This was a little bland for us. I added some minced garlic and thyme, also added four cheese tortellini.

YUM! This was so good and I'm not a huge soup fan. I replaced the bouillon and water with three cans of low sodium beef broth and added a cup of ditalini pasta towards the end. Great change of pace from boring vegetable soup!

What's really nice about Hamburger Soup is that you can subtract or add any ingredient that you wish. I use cubed potato, and add the liquid from the canned veggies, use low-salt beef broth, make a bouquet garnii with bay leaf, oregano, rosemary, dill weed(use in place of salt), and whatever else you desire. Add heat, or not, and it still will come out delicious and satisfying. Make the soup your own.

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. This is like chili without the taste. Really really bland. Which might be OK for kids, except that even my kids didn't like it. I won't make this again.

Who said this is good? Let me at 'em, let me at 'em... This passed as dinner but was not relished, inhaled, enjoyed, nor slurped with smiles from ages 2 up to 34. Needs something... and something else... Sorry.

Everyone in my family loves this recipe. My son calls it the shiny soup (don't know where this comes from). I add a clove or two of garlic, pepper to taste, a dash or two of hot chili sauce to taste, pasta shells (towards the end of cooking) and worcester sauce. I have also been known to add a chopped sweet potato or yam.

This soup was very hearty & tasty! Had the family over for the game & everyone raved. Only thing I did different from the recipe is skipped the bouillon cubes and did 1/2 water 1/2 low sodium beef broth. Thanks for the recipe!

We did not add the salt per several reviews, I used a dab of leftover spaghetti sauce in lieu of the tomato sauce per another review. We doubled the carrots. We added 1/3 c. barley and 1/3 c. brown rice. (I added pepper per another review and suteed the meat with the onions and some garlic per another review. It was really great!!!!!
