Mama's Hamburger Vegetable Soup

Step 1

Place the oil, chopped leek, and half of the rosemary and half of the thyme into a large soup pot and heat over medium until the aromas and leek begin to blend and melt.

Step 2

Add the hamburger to the leek and herbs and brown.

Step 3

Next add the cabbage, zucchini, and carrots. Add a small amount of broth or water. Place a lid over the pot and let the vegetables steam.

Step 4

Stir the vegetables every five minutes or so and add more broth or water as needed.

Step 5

Add the remaining herbs, broth and diced tomatoes. Bring to a gentle simmer. Stirring occasionally, let cook for about 10 or 15 minutes for the herbs and tomatoes to soften and blend into the soup.
