Notes
To store: Place any remaining hamburger soup in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to one week. Reheat over medium-low heat on the stovetop. This soup also freezes well for up to 3 months.
You can add Yukon or russet potatoes if you cut them into 1/2-inch pieces.
Toppings are not necessary for this flavorful soup, it's wonderful as is. Though, some like to top this with crackers, cheese, and sliced green onion.
