This Crock Pot Hamburger Soup from Gooseberry Patch’s Foolproof Family Recipes is a wonderful, hearty meal that is a cinch to throw together! When I made it up, we had some friends over. The kids gobbled it up! so that means they devoured their veggies without even thinking about it! You can’t beat a meal that has kids eating their veggies without even blinking and eye!
Ingredients for Crock Pot Hamburger Soup
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 onion diced
- 3 ribs celery sliced, sticks

- 3 potatoes peeled and diced
- 16 oz can kidney beans drained
- 4 cubes beef bouillon
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- salt and pepper to taste
How to Make Hamburger Soup in a Crock Pot
-
Put your ground beef, onion and celery in a large skillet and brown over medium heat, drain
-
Put your ground beef mixture in your crock pot
-
Add in your your tomatoes (with their juices), vegetable juice, potatoes, drained kidney beans, bouillon and seasonings
-
Stir well
-
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-6 hours, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender
Crock Pot Hamburger Soup Notes:
- For this yummy soup, I used Cera, my 6 Quart Crock Pot with Ceramic Coated Pot. There is quite a bit of food in this recipe, so I wouldn’t go smaller than a 5 or 6-quart crock pot.
- I made a few changes to this recipe (as always!), so feel free to change it up for your family’s wants and needs. If celery is a favorite at your house, you can add more. If you aren’t fans of potatoes, add in what your family does like and use fewer potatoes. You get the idea.
- While this isn’t a dump and go recipe that has no prep, but it is a simplistic recipe, so don’t be afraid of it! It is super easy and delicious!
- As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

Hi and thank you looks great! when you say vegetable juice are you referring to stock or something like V8? Yes I am a rookie and that’s why I treasure your guidance!
Hi Krista!
In my grocery store, the vegetable juice is right beside the tomato juice. I used the generic, but I am sure that V8 makes one too. Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
Thanks, I’m not a rookie but still wasn’t sure what that was, lol.
You mention potatoes but there aren’t any suggestions for them in the ingredients?
Hi Catherine!
I used Russet potatoes. Since this cooks for a longer time, a harder potato works great! Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
Been making for years. Don’t do the beans tho. Sometimes I add a handful of macaroni about 20 mins. towards the end of cooking time. Never tried in crock pot. Great idea! You can make it even quicker using can of mix vegs.
Hi JoAnn!
Those are some great ideas! Thanks for sharing! Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
my dad used to make this years ago on the stove!! I like using the crock and substitute pasta sauce (garden or marinara) instead of vege juice!
can this go into the freezer and will it do well if so
Hi Linda!
I have never tried freezing it. If you do, let me know how it goes! Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
I’m going to make but also add beef broth. I like my soup juicy.

Super great flavors. Easy! I added sliced baby carrots. Used some Better than Bouillon in place of bouillon cubes. Makes plenty. Smelled so good all day. Served with French bread. Another keeper from Cri
