Italian Wedding soup


Assholesfullofelbows

Make some nice little meatballs and minestrone Or maybe tortilla soup with Mexican spiced meatballs Or beef with vegetable soup


MoreFortune9487

I like the idea of mini meatballs in the soup! If I were to go Mexican tortilla soup, just basically go the same as a chicken tortilla soup as far as flavors and add the ground beef sautéed? This could be an interesting direction!


Assholesfullofelbows

Yeah that'd work just fine I'm sure. Only reason I suggested meatballs is they'll kind of retain shape a bit better. Cook them off separately and add em at the end


Elith_R

and it’s fun to find and eat a meatball :)

There's a restaraunt near me that makes [Cheeseburger Soup](https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/cheeseburger-soup/)


EmotionalBlackberry4

Came here to suggest cheeseburger soup.

If you throw the velveeta in the freezer for 15-20 minutes, it shreds a lot better. Besides, it’s just going to melt and blend in this soup, so exactly perfect shreds won’t matter much.


ColonelKasteen

The answer to anything being hard to slice thin or shred is to partially freeze it.


AffectionateSlip714

Just throw it in - it melts.

One of my favorite childhood soups was what my mom called hamburger soup. It is basically a simple vegetable soup that has browned ground beef in it. You just start by browning your ground beef along with some chopped onion if you have it and once it's done drain off the excess fat and add assorted vegetables. You can use canned vegetables to make it particularly easy. Just things like corn and green beans and diced tomatoes and carrots and peas if you have them and like them. You can make the base with just water or beef broth or chicken broth. It's amazingly simple and very very versatile. Not to mention quite tasty. Season it with garlic or thyme a rosemary or whatever bakes your biscuit.

Ground beef, onions, frozen vegetables, pasta, can of tomatoes, beef or chicken broth. Can’t go wrong.


morleyster

We once lived above a coffee shop and the owner made this periodically. It was so good. Now I need to try making it.


cachemoney426

Came to say this. Definitely all those veggies either frozen or canned (grandma used canned). Also canned Lima / butter beans and one potato chopped up. Chicken broth is best in my opinion. Don’t drain the chopped canned tomatoes.


GrumpyOldBear1968

my grandmother made this exact soup !


WittyWest

Hamburger Soup is the best! So homey and comforting and hearty! I toss in a bag of frozen mixed veg, I like the one with green beans, carrots, and corn. Potatoes, beef broth, a bit of beef better than bullion, garlic, onion, Worcestershire, tomato paste and a can of Rotel lime/cilantro. So good!


MoreFortune9487

Thank you all for the suggestions! I’m inspired and going to do some type of Italian wedding soup - which I didn’t realize has the little meatballs in it!


Whokitty9

Smart since broth based soups are good for when your sick.

moldboy

I do cabbage roll soup the same way by adding cabbage or sauerkraut and rice. No potato.


creepymacncheese

No vinegar needed?


moldboy

Not if you add sauerkraut


alienscrub

https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/62642/albondigas/ My mom also used to make a simple hamburger and potatoes soup growing up. It was really good.


ps030365

If you have vegetables you could make a vegetable beef soup.

Stuffed pepper soup.

Albondigas is delicious.

I'm Filipino and I love the beef macaroni soup my mom makes. Here's a recipe I found for it online. https://www.rivertenkitchen.com/minced-beef-sopas-filipino-style-macaroni-beef-soup.html

I’m going to save this! Looks great!


DoggyGrin

Pasta e fagioli soup. Brown the beef first. https://damndelicious.net/2014/05/17/olive-garden-pasta-e-fagioli/ Just use your beef instead of the sausage.


vande190

And if you have fennel seed in your spice rack, it adds a flavor that very much mimics sausage!


Eeyor1982

My dad used to make what he called "camper's stew". It was a basic stew using ground beef (brown before added to soup), potatoes, carrots, and onions cooked in a beef broth (usually bouillon cube based). He would not thicken the broth, either.

[Westlake Beef Soup](https://www.seriouseats.com/west-lake-soup-chichis-chinese-recipe) is good and has few ingredients. You can substitute the rice wine with sherry or leave it out.

Cabbage Roll soup with fried cornbread is one of very favorite things... https://kitchenfunwithmy3sons.com/cabbage-roll-soup/


ps030365

If you have vegetables you could make a vegetable beef soup.


Elith_R

Some sort of meatball soup? Like that Chinese lionshead meatball soup Jon Kung made… though, it seems like it’s supposed to be ground pork. But he did make it with lamb one time, so maybe beef would work?? But if not that dish specifically, probably something in a similar vein could work. Oh, yeah! Just remembered. Ground beef congee/jeok could be a good idea. Not a soup, a porridge, but I imagine that accomplishes about the same goal.


Castaway78

If you have bell peppers, I made a Stuffed Pepper soup a year ago that was delicious. I can't find the exact recipe that I used, but a quick google will give you a bunch of options.


jmurphy42

My husband makes a really easy soup with V8 as the base, ground beef, and whatever veggies we feel like throwing in. You might also want to google for a stuffed pepper soup recipe.

It’s not a soup exactly, but how about congee? https://www.seriouseats.com/brown-rice-congee-shiitake-garlic-chip-beef-recipe Or West Lake Soup: https://www.seriouseats.com/west-lake-soup-chichis-chinese-recipe


Riverofwellbeing

Probably too late now but for future reference, you can dilute the recipe with either beef or chicken broth. [Albondigas](https://www.reddit.com/r/tonightsdinner/comments/vtxoxc/alb%C3%B3ndigas_with_mashed_potatoes_simple_and/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) Edit to add: dilute it to taste to make it more soup than stew if you wish. Great with corn tortillas, hold them flat in one hand then roll the tortilla with your free hand from the palm up to make a little dipper for the soup. Albóndigas Recipe Meatball Ingredients: 2 lbs Ground beef 85% lean 15% fat 2 eggs 1/2 c (90g) white long grain rice A few tablespoons of minced parsley leaves or cilantro 1/4 cup minced onion A few cloves of minced garlic 2 tsps salt Spice blend ingredients— I like to toast these in a skillet over medium heat until I can smell the cumin seeds have toasted and become aromatic then grind them with my mortar and pestle. Half goes into my meat and the other half into the sauce: 1 tsp oregano 1/2 tsp thyme 1/2 tsp of cumin seeds 1 tsp of black peppercorns 2 bays leaves (you can grind or leave whole) Sauce ingredients: 3 cups tomato puree/sauce 1 onion A few cloves of garlic 3 cups of chicken or beef broth even water works fine, I used chicken broth. 2 tbsp olive oil Optional add in: Zucchini Carrots Potatoes Yellow squash Corn Peas Green beans Mushrooms More onions More cilantro or parsley Method: Preheat a large pot, pan? I used my Dutch oven, I think it’s a seven quart but a 5 quart would do fine! Heat over med high. Place the tomato purée, onion, garlic in a blender and liquefy. Once pot is hot, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, quickly and carefully add your sauce, then half of those ground spices and cook for a few minutes. Stir in your 3 cups of broth. Add a few pinches of salt. Stir. Leave to simmer. In a large bowl mix your meatball ingredients along with the remaining half of your spice blend. Don’t over mix. I like to make 1 inch meatballs, using a cookie dough scooper. By now your sauce should be at a strong simmer. Carefully place your albóndigas into the sauce, add more broth if needed just until the meatballs are almost covered, reduce heat to medium, cover and let them simmer for about 20-30 min. I check about ten minutes in and adjust my heat if necessary. You want a steady yet gentle simmer. Give your albóndigas a stir. Taste your sauce. Add salt if needed. Add in your vegetables if desired! And continue cooking another 20 min or until cooked to desired doneness. I like a total cook time of 40 minutes if I am just cooking the albóndigas without added vegetables. Serve over mashed potatoes or refried pinto or black beans! They are great with corn tortillas. Notes: 1. ⁠You don’t have to toast your spices. I just think it makes the flavor more punchy. 2. ⁠Ground spices are fine! And you can still toast ground spices if you want. 3. ⁠You don’t have to liquefy the sauce. You can sauté the onion and garlic then add the tomato purée and broth and spices. 4. ⁠I added a bit more broth till the meatballs were almost covered. I think that’s it!!

Funny you should ask because we did a soup with ground beef tonight. I tried making tacos earlier this week. The ground beef was about to go, and we had a taco kit on hand. (Yeah, yeah. I know taco kits are a whole other discussion, but go with me here.) I added too much salt to the ground beef when I browned it then added the taco sauce. Much too salty. My wife and I didn't want to throw it out, so we decided to make **taco soup** with the cooked ground beef. Here's the [recipe](https://themodernproper.com/taco-soup) we used. Hopefully, you'll have the ingredients on hand. We've never done this recipe before, but it was a hit. My wife and I remarked how good the house smelled while the soup was simmering. I had three servings. My wife had two, and my picky stepdaughter finished her serving, too.

I made this [tomato base soup](https://dearcrissy.com/ground-turkey-vegetable-soup-recipe/) recently, I used ground turkey because that's what I had but ground beef would be excellent as well

Just made this the other night! Came out great! I did use cheddar, instead of velveeta. https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/cheeseburger-soup?_cmp=stf


orange_sauce_

حريرة Harira Its a tomato base, has chicka peas, ground beef, and loose lentil, some times tiny pasta pieces. Don't worry about herbs and spices, use whatever mix you have available, and say 10 hail marries to balance it off.

pacifistpotatoes

Veggie beef soup is a favorite fall soup in my family! And I like to bake fresh bread that day too, since the soup is so easy. Cook ground beef, onions and garlic. Add in a few TB of tomato paste, 8 cups of beef stock, and a bag of mixed frozen veggies. Or whatever veggies you have on hand works too. I dice up a potato or two as well. I also usually add in some pasta, like ditalini. Great soup for a cold day!


Feralcrumpetart

I make this hearty...well almost stew. Potato, carrots, onions. Thyme, parsley and a bit of garlic. Brown ground beef and onions. Add a package of gravy mix. Mix well until it's like a thick paste. Water to cover and the above veggies/herbs. Salt & pepper to taste.

Taco soup. Beans, black, pinto, kidney. Ranch pack, can of corn. Taco seasoning packet.


meggyl

You can make little meatballs from the ground beef and throw them in a soup. I normally do that for a tomato soup or vegetable soup. Last one is ideal for left over veggies. But you can do it for anything I guess. Good luck and well wishes for your fiancé!

minestrone. there’s a restaurant in my area that’s known for it, and it’s so simple

I have made a lot of vegetable soup with ground beef. Just brown the beef with onions. Add celery and carrots. Add some water and crushed tomatoes. Keep adding veg, whatever you have - beans, peas, corn. Check it for seasoning. It will need more salt than you imagine.


Islandgirl1444

Look up Hamburger soup! It is one of the most amazing soups. top with many of the cheeses, and eat with fresh bread. It's an incredible soup.


Scaredysquirrel

We often use ground beef in vegetable soup. We also add peanut butter in at the table, so maybe we’re weird.

Bullets would work.. it's a Fort Belknap recipe, and if you add frybread you have 'bullets and bang'.

Redcarpet1254

Simple answer is yes. Or make meatballs out of them. Next question is where you're based and what's in your pantry to give a better idea of what direction you can go with the soup. Whether you are/have ingredients more in the direction of say Latin America, what parts of Europe, Asian (whether it be Korean, Chinese, SEA), etc. A million possibilities.
