M5 Hamburger Soup!

One of our favorite winter recipes and a customer favorite at Five Marys Burgerhouse!

Ingredients:

2 pounds Five Marys Dry-Aged Ground Beef

1 large onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

6 stalks celery, diced

6 large carrots, peeled and sliced

3 red / orange bell peppers, diced

8-10 red potatoes, diced

4 tbsp tomato paste

1 large can whole tomatoes

3 cups beef broth, more as needed

M5 Spice Rub or sea salt & fresh pepper, to taste

Directions:

1) In a large pot over medium heat, brown the

meat with the onion, celery, and garlic. Remove

the pot from the heat and drain fat if necessary.

2) Return the pot to the heat and add the rest of

the ingredients. Stir to combine, then bring to a

boil.

3) Reduce the heat, then cover the pot and

simmer the soup for 15-20 more minutes, until

potatoes are tender but not overly mushy.

3) Soup should be somewhat thick, but if you

like it more "soupy," add 1 to 2 cups more broth

or hot water and heat through again.

4) Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt

if needed. Serve with crusty bread and enjoy!

**Taste it and make any adjustments it

needs: Add more salt, a little cayenne pepper

if it needs a little heat, a little

more tomato paste if it needs more tang.

Serve it up hot with crusty bread.
