Oh, dear hearts, today I’m taking you back to a time when the air was brisk and the aroma from the kitchen stove promised a belly full of warmth. Back when mama would call us in from the frost-kissed fields with the promise of her hearty Tomato Hamburger Soup, gently bubbling away in her treasured slow cooker. Simplicity, thriftiness, and a whole lot of love—that’s what went into this soup. It’s a dish that came from necessity, making use of what’s plentiful: tomatoes from the garden, beef from the neighboring farm, and spices from the pantry shelf. Whether you’re a busy parent looking to feed a crowd, a singleton needing comfort food, or just someone craving the flavors of a Midwestern home, this is the soup that wraps its arms around you.
Now, a lonesome bowl of Tomato Hamburger Soup can hold its own, make no mistake. But if you’re wanting to round out the meal, you can’t go wrong with a slice of buttered cornbread or a handful of oyster crackers tossed right on top. On the side, a fresh green salad or some home-canned pickles add just the right touch of crispness.
