2 Hmaburger Helper Soup Recipes
Have you ever make soups using Hamburger Helper?
I had made the following soups recently, and may I say, they were very tasty!
Hamburger Helper Lasagna Soup
1 lb. "seasoned" ground pork sausage (*See note)
1 medium sized red onion, diced
2 medium size garlic cloves, minced
1 (6.4 oz.) box Betty Crocker's "Lasagna" Hamburger Helper
4 cups beef broth
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 (10 ounce) can Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies
1/2 of 1-(14.5 ounce) can whole kernel corn
2 cups cubed zucchini (cut into 4-inch pieces)
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Kraft's Grated Parmesan Cheese
Spray the inside of a Dutch oven or soup kettle, with a no-stick cooking spray.
In the Dutch oven or kettle, add the ground beef, and season beef with a bit of black pepper.
(Do not add salt to this recipe!) Brown the ground beef three quarters of the way,
over medium heat; stirring to break up the meat. Add the onions, and sprinkle onions with
a bit of the pepper, then add the garlic. Finish browning the beef and cooking the onions
and garlic, this will just take a minute or two.
Add the following ingredients to the kettle of cooked beef, the seasoning packet from the
boxed hamburger helper, the beef broth, stewed tomatoes, the Rotel Tomatoes, whole kernel
corn, zucchini, and the Italian seasoning. Bring soup to a boil; stirring soup occasionally.
Reduce heat, cover, and simmer the soup for 10 minutes; stirring soup occasionally.
Add the uncooked noodles to the Dutch oven or kettle. Bring soup to a second boil,
then reduce the heat to a low simmer, cover, and simmer the soup for 15 minutes.
Remove soup from heat, stir the soup, and serve.
Top each bowl of soup, with a sprinkle of the grated parmesan cheese.
Yield: 6 - 8 servings
*Note: For this recipe, I used "seasoned" ground pork sausage, which is ground pork that has
garlic, onion, ground sage, salt, and black pepper added to it, but you could substitute ground
beef for the sausage. Also, any leftovers reheated, will have the consistency of a goulash,
rather than a soup.
Zesty Italian Hamburger Helper Soup
1 lb. ground beef
3/4 cup diced onion
2 large galic cloves, minced
ground black pepper
1 (7.2 ounce) box Betty Crocker's "Zesty Italian" Hamburger Helper
4-1/2 cups canned beef broth
1 (14.5 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 (10 ounce) can Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies
1 cup zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1/2 cup thinly sliced baby carrot
3/4 cup canned whole kernel corn, drained
8 ounces frozen green beans
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Spray the inside of a Dutch oven or soup kettle, with a no-stick cooking spray.
In the Dutch oven or kettle, add the ground beef, and season beef with a bit of black pepper.
(Do not add salt to this recipe!) Brown the ground beef three quarters of the way,
over medium heat; stirring to break up the meat. Add the onions, and sprinkle onions with
a bit of the pepper, then add the garlic. Finish browning the beef and cooking the onions
and garlic, this will just take a minute or two.
In the meantime, cook the frozen green beans in a microwave, till they are about three
quarters of the way done; drain beans and set them aside.
(Note: I sprinkled the green beans with a bit of black pepper, before microwaving them.)
Add the following ingredients to the kettle of cooked beef, the seasoning packet from the
boxed hamburger helper, the beef broth, stewed tomatoes, the Rotel Tomatoes, zucchini,
sliced baby carrots, whole kernel corn, the cooked green beans, and the Italian seasoning.
Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat to a low simmer, cover, and simmer the soup for 10
minutes.
Uncover the kettle, stir the soup, and add the package of penne pasta, that's included
in the box of hamburger helper. Bring soup to a second boil, then reduce the heat to a
low simmer, cover, and simmer the soup for 15 minutes.
Remove soup from heat, stir the soup, and serve.
Yield: 7 - 8 servings.
