This So Easy Hamburger Soup was thrown together last minute while I was cold, in a hurry and to be completely honest, the tail end of the shopping cycle. :-)  My pantry was looking a little bare and my hungry crew would want something to eat.

You wanna know what was even better?  Everyone LOVED it!  It tasted great and it was extremely frugal.  F.R.U.G.A.L.  I think it cost our family less than $4 dollars to make and it fed our family of six not only supper, but a few of us had it for leftovers the next day.

How to make so easy hamburger soup

I made it in the crock pot (of course!) but you can cook it on the stove.  I love the whole dump the ingredients in and walk away concept.  (Which I am sure you gathered from our taco soup and Spicy Sausage Soup!)

Do you have a slow cooker at home? I was talking with someone through social media who did not have a slow cooker. Do me a favor, will ya?

If you don’t have a slow cooker you should get one.  I use my slow cooker a few times a week. Without question. (Ask my family.) :-) Here are a few ideas for a slow cooker.  There are programmable ones and simple ones. I personally go for the middle of the road slow cookers.

The only trick to this soup is to not add the shells until about 45 minutes before you are going to eat.  You don’t want the shells to get too soggy.  Nobody wants soggy shells.  Nobody.

Think you will like this soup? You can try it with dumplings too. Delicious!

      Hello! I’m so glad to hear your son liked the soup! It is a favorite around here as well. I have fried up the hamburger, chopped up the carrots the night before and put it in the fridge. Then the morning of, I just throw it all into the crock pot since the rest of the ingredients are from cans. Make sure you don’t add the noodles until about 30 minutes before you eat or they will be too soggy. I hope this helps!

    This sounds delicious and I need to use up some ground beef in my fridge. If I wanted to cook this on the stove instead of the crockpot (because I don’t have 6 hours) how long would I need to cook it?

      I just made it on my stove top a few nights ago. I probably cooked it for 45 minutes. I don’t think it needs that long to cook, however, my husband doesn’t like crunchy carrots. If crunchy carrots doesn’t bother you, 30 minutes would be fine. I would add the pasta about 7-10 minutes before serving.

    This is exactly like the soup my granny fixed for us growing up. Then it became a soup for celebration, for a bad day and for what ailed us. I opened up this link and almost cried when i saw the photo. Thank you for bringing me that sweet memory.
