Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil, ghee, or butter
  • 2 tsp turmeric
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 3 cups bone broth, meat stock, or the Healing Elixir Vegetable stock (you could also use 2 cups broth or stock and 1 cup water)
  • ½ lb ground beef (this also works with ground bison, lamb, turkey, or chicken)
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • Optional: 1 cup thinly shredded bok choy or thinly sliced yellow summer squash and zucchini

Equipment

  • 1 saucepan

Method
 

  1. Add coconut oil, ghee, or butter to a saucepan and set your burner to low
  2. Add the rest of the spices, except for the sea salt. Warm the spices in the coconut oil for 2 minutes or until you can smell their aromas
  3. Add the bone broth or stock and sea salt. Simmer for 1 minute
  4. Add the ground beef in small chunks. Decide if you want any sliced vegetables, like bok choy and yellow summer squash. Add them if you want them. Simmer the broth with meat (and vegetables, if using) for 3 minutes or until the meat has changed color and looks done. Ground meat, bok choy, and yellow squash cook very fast in broth
  5. Taste the broth and, if you want, you can dilute it with more water. Add more sea salt and pepper, if needed.

Notes

One important note for making hearty hamburger soup is to use a high-quality ground beef with a good fat content. This will help to enhance the flavor and texture of the soup. It is also important to cook the soup over low to medium heat, allowing the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to soften.
