Hearty Vegetable Soup with Hamburger

Crystal Wilkinson’s shares this hearty vegetable soup with hamburger in her cookbook, Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts (Clarkson Potter, 2024). “This is a poor woman’s version of my grandmother’s vegetable soup that I made when my children were young. I prefer fresh vegetables, but the recipe can work with whatever’s in your pantry. It’s a savory, satisfying meal while balling on a budget, which I think is at the heart of soup-making.”
