Creamy Crockpot Hamburger Vegetable Soup

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Just about everyone’s had some sort of hamburger soup in their lifetime. These soups are easy, tasty and very economical. AND…this creamy crockpot hamburger vegetable soup is absolutely no exception!

But hamburger vegetable soups aren’t always called by their name. There are LOTS of names for it. And this crockpot hamburger soup is no exception to that rule either.

How’s Crockpot Hamburger Soup Different than Slow Cooker Cheeseburger Soup?

This recipe is very closely related to our slow cooker cheeseburger soup recipe. So, why’d I make a new recipe for almost the same dish?

Simple. It’s good. Complicated. Search results for folks. Last Tuesday I got another email from someone looking for a crock pot hamburger soup recipe (third person requesting). But this lady wanted there to be milk in the recipe too. Or had heard of one like it and wanted to know if I had one.

Hamburger Vegetable Soup

So, I’m thinking “that’s cheeseburger soup” …but when you do a search, via Google or via the search box on the website…you don’t always get the right results.

So tadda! Here is it. And it’s named crockpot hamburger soup…so it should come up for anyone looking for it now.

Tips for Making Crockpot Hamburger Soup Faster

So, lots of times, time is an issue. And you need all the shortcuts you can get. Here are a few to help out with those times:

  • Purchase a 16-ounce bag of frozen mixed vegetables to substitute for the carrots and celery. You might get green beans in the mix too, but that’s quite alright. It still works great! Psst…use half for this recipe, freeze the rest OR double the recipe.
  • Purchase the old-fashioned square-cut hash brown potatoes or use canned potatoes. Canned potatoes come whole, sliced or diced. They are a great shortcut when you don’t have time to deal and dice.
  • Cook your ground beef OVERNIGHT right in the crockpot! Freeze in portions and have it for whatever other recipes you need too!

Tips for Healthier Slow Cooker Hamburger Soup

And sometimes, you want to do healthier instead of quick and easy. And that’s a great option too. But healthy to one person, doesn’t always work for another.

And I mean dietary restrictions. Allergies. Weight loss needs. Blah blah. So, this is a list of tips for different types of healthier options. If you have anymore, let me know and I’ll add them.

  • Substitute white sweet potatoes for regular Russet or Yukon potatoes. Yep, they exist, and they are really good too!
  • Use Himalayan salt instead of regular table salt. There are multiple health benefits for using Himalayan salt.
  • If you are on the keto diet you can have this recipe with a bit of modification:
    • Substitute cauliflower or cauliflower rice for the potatoes. If you use half and half, you’ll still get both a chunky and creamy consistency to your soup. And yes, you can still freeze it.
    • Use half heavy cream and half filtered water to substitute for the milk in this recipe. You can use whole cream as well if you’d prefer.

And let me clarify please. I do NOT mind request, questions or correspondences. I like them. But I don’t want to hold someone up when they need something if I don’t happen to be around my computer either.

And now on to the recipe…
