My husband and I stopped at a family restaurant while traveling and were surprised to see the soup special “Hamburger Soup” so we had to try it. It was so fantastic that I had to experiment and came up with this low sodium version, which nobody noticed! It’s now a family and friends favorite. I don’t know how many times I was asked for the recipe. So here it is.
1 pound lean ground beef
1-1/2 teaspoons no salt added steakspice (Club House Seasonings)
2 cups celery, chopped
2 cups carrots, chopped
1 cup onions, chopped
1-1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1-1/2 teaspoons light margarine
4 cubes low sodium beef bouillon
1 cube low sodium chicken bouillon
2 19-ounce cans diced tomatoes
1 8-ounce can tomato soup
Brown ground beef with steakspice and transfer to soup pot. Saute vegetables and garlic in margarine with chicken bouillon and 1 cup water. Transfer to soup pot. Add beef bouillon and 4 cups water. Add canned tomatoes. Simmer for an hour. Add tomato soup and stir until well mixed. Simmer for another 30 minutes and enjoy!
You can also add 1 small bag of coleslaw with the vegetables or 1-2 cups cooked pasta with the tomato soup for a nice variation.
May also be frozen.
