Low Carb Hamburger Soup is a hearty and flavorful dish packed with lean ground beef, fresh vegetables, and savory spices. It offers all the comfort of a classic hamburger in a low-carb, satisfying soup form, ideal for anyone on a low-carb or keto diet.

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (preferably lean)
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups beef broth (preferably low-sodium)
2 cups water
1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz, no added sugar)
1 medium zucchini, diced
1 cup celery, diced
1 cup carrots, diced (optional, depending on carb preference)
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/2 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
  3. Once the beef is browned, add the diced onion and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and water, and stir to combine.
  5. Add the diced tomatoes, zucchini, celery, and carrots (if using). Stir well.
  6. Season with oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir again.
  7. Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.

Notes

  • Add more vegetables like spinach, kale, or cauliflower for extra nutrition and flavor.
  • Make it spicier by adding red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.
  • For a leaner option, use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
  • Top with shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheese for extra creaminess.
