Creamy Hash Brown Hamburger Soup

Creamy hamburger hash brown soup is full of hearty, meaty, and creamy flavor – super simple! 

 

I love creamy, easy dutch oven soups in winter that are full of flavor – and this soup is the perfect dinner for an easy meal that cooks in just a couple hours with almost no work!

I came up with this recipe by accident. I wanted to make some loaded baked potato soup (my husband’s favorite), but we were all out of potatoes.

I had some hash browns in our freezer that I wanted to use up and figured that potato is potato, and decided to see if it would taste any good.

 

The creamiest potato and hamburger soup ever - with a crazy twist!

 

After a bit of tweaking to bring out a roasted hash brown flavor, I realized quickly that this soup was going to be a massive hit – and I am SO glad I tried out such a random substitution!

This soup has all the delicious flavor you love in baked potato soup, with a rich and buttery hash brown flavor.

 

Hot tip: It’s important to pre-cook the hash browns in the dutch oven, stirring them occasionally to crisp up the hash browns evenly – or to quickly brown them in a pan before adding to the dutch oven. I also add pre-browned ground beef – but it doesn’t have to be fully cooked.

 

You never guess the secret ingredient in this decadently creamy potato and hamburger soup!

 

I like to brown ground beef in big batches and then use it in tacos, spaghetti, and other dishes – so this works perfectly into an easy weekly meal plan!

You could even toss all the ingredients into a slow cooker as is, but the pre-browning steps really bring out a richer, more buttery flavor.

 

Creamy hamburger and hashbrown potato soup- this is one of our all time favorites!

    **UPDATE** Hello again. Quick update on the recipe… It was DELICIOUS! My family loved it and didn’t mind he wait time. It is a keeper at my house! The timing is ok and we did have to add a little extra broth (my patience wasn’t willing to wait till it simmered haha!), but it was awesome!
