How to make easy hamburger vegetable soup

Can I use other vegetables?
Yes, of course you can! That’s one of the great things about soup is that it’s so easy to customize it to how you like it. You could try adding other vegetables like corn, zucchini, peas, potatoes, tomatoes...etc. The list goes on, feel free to substitute what you have on hand.
Can I use other broth with beef?
Yes, you can use chicken broth or vegetable broth if you don’t have beef broth on hand. I recommend using beef bullion cubes also so the beef flavor will still pull through, it will just change the flavor slightly.
