This Hamburger and Potato Soup is so comforting and perfect for a cozy night. My youngest is fighting a cough, so we have had soup almost every day this week. Broth is so full of vitamins to keep our immune systems in top notch, and it is also adds a lot of flavor. This is the ultimate comfort food, and as a bonus, it only has 6 *real food* ingredients! Hamburger, potatoes, onion, broth, parsley, and a little bit of arrowroot or flour to thicken it. The texture of the potatoes might be my favorite part of the soup, they melt in your mouth. Delicious!
This soup is fantastic on it’s own, but pairs very well with bread-sticks or rustic bread if you want something to mop up the bowl when you are done.
