Vegetarian Hamburger Soup Recipe

March 22, 2013 by Demelza Young

This is a quick, “throw it together” kind of recipe.  My mom used to make hamburger soup every so often when I was a kid, and I loved it: the tomato base, the chunky vegetables in it.  During one of the winters I was away at college, I had a craving for a hot, hearty kind of soup.  I thought of this one, and with my mother’s help I was able to recreate it without the meat.

You can exchange the canned vegetables for frozen or fresh, and add others as you like (mushrooms and green beans would be a great addition); the onions were just a little something that needed to be used up in our fridge.  I joked with my sister, as we were cooking, that this is kind of like a “use everything but the kitchen sink” soup, but for some reason she didn’t like it when I suggested throwing in a random can of pineapple.  I can’t imagine why.  Hawaiian burgers are totally a thing, right?

Vegetarian Hamburger Soup Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 (12 oz) container soy crumbles
  • 2 stalks celery
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 c yellow onions, chopped
  • (62 oz) container V8 or other vegetable juice
  • 2 (29 oz) cans Veg-All, home-style large cut vegetables
  • herbs & spices to taste (salt & pepper, garlic pepper, tarragon, marjoram, basil, rosemary, garlic powder, chives, etc.)

Vegetarian Hamburger Soup Recipe Ingred

Instructions

  1. Add the V8 juice, onion, garlic and veggie crumbles into a large pot.
  2. Flavor soup to taste – I suggest garlic pepper, tarragon, marjoram, basil, rosemary, garlic powder, and chives. Really, it’s whatever you enjoy and whatever you happen to have on hand!Vegetarian Hamburger Soup Recipe 1
  3. Continue to cook until soup is heated through and flavorings have mingled, about 30-40 minutes. Feel free to garnish bowls with a bit of parsley and a sprinkle of sharp cheddar or mozzarella.

    I have been looking for a good meal to prepare when some friends of ours (who are vegetarian) come over for a "get together!"  I had planned pizza, but I would love to make this for them instead!! Thanks for the recipe!

    • Susan Bewley says

      March 23, 2013 at 1:02 pm

      It is one of those meals that is perfect for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike! Best of all, it’s super easy!

    • Susan Bewley says

      March 25, 2013 at 11:05 am

      haha! If you really wanted to make it a meat recipe, you could probably just substitute the tofu for ground beef.

    OMG This recipe looks AMAZING! I recently started cutting right down on any meats, and have been indulging in the veggies! This is a welcomed addition to our dinner table for sure!

  39. ANN*H says

    April 4, 2013 at 9:55 pm

    Looks delicious to me but if the family knows it has  soy crumbles in it they probably wont eat any of it . there are real picky. You talk about everything but the kitchen sink and pineapple. Have you ever eaten a chili with pineapple in it – called Hawaiian chili? so adding that can of pineapple might work ????

    • Susan Bewley says

      April 5, 2013 at 9:01 am

      I bet it would actually be good. I have tried something similar with pineapple and it was yum. 🙂

  40. veronica lee says

    April 6, 2013 at 1:11 am

    Mmmmm!  I am certainly going to make this for dinner tonight! 

  41. Elle Briarson says

    Yum! Great way to enjoy if you're a vegetarian!

  42. Nichole Miller Shamblin says

    Easy-peasy, delicous, healthy, customizable….what else could you want?  I'd make mine chili-ish with lots of hot pepper flakes!

  49. Mer says

    April 28, 2013 at 4:02 pm

    Yum! This looks like a great way to use up all those random veggies that aren't quite enough for a dish on their own.

  50. Linda says

    April 30, 2013 at 2:36 am

    I would love to try this.  I love hamburger soup anyway.

  51. Terri says

    Yum, Yum, Yum!! I love this recipe. I have several friends that are vegitarians. When it's my turn to have the monthly dinner at my house I'm always scrambling to find a quick & easy vegi meal just for them. This is fantastic and simple…Another great recipe to add to my collection!!

  60. Dorothy Teel says

    May 27, 2013 at 9:08 am

    This sounds like a yummy and quick to put together soup and one that would smell great while cooking it.  I make one similar but I use the spicy V8 juice in it and diced dehydrated onions and some dried green peppers and veg all , you can add bouillion for flavor and it is great.. My kids love it with hamburger, when we call it hamburger stew and it is one of those recipes that you can stretch to feed many people,  thank you

  61. md kennedy says

    May 29, 2013 at 10:11 am

    I haven't seen Veg-All in years – guess I just wsn't looking for it!  I sure will track soem down and make this recipe, though – looks great!

  62. Tanya says

    July 30, 2013 at 11:26 am

    Hello, I love the recipe idea, it sounds really good. I have been thinking about becoming a vegan for years but It's been challenging anyone have suggestions or how to wean yourself. I eat like only chicken and turkey now I do eat some fish at times….But really don't eat beef or pork ? hummm well maybe I am on my way. What y'all think?

  63. Tiffany R says

    November 30, 2013 at 12:10 pm

    Sounds good but my family are meat eaters so i would used ground chicken or turkey

  64. Kimberly Carroll says

    December 1, 2013 at 1:48 pm

    Great Recipe! My daughter is a vegetarian and is slowly turning me into one as well!!

  65. kelly Nicholson says

    January 13, 2014 at 2:51 am

    the word hamburger throws me,but ok..ill give it a try…go vegan

  66. Amy Adams says

    March 4, 2014 at 7:46 am

    This looks great but I think I would add some chopped up “Morning Star” patties just to put some type of “meat” in the soup. I think my husband would be more prone to eat it then. Otherwise, I think it looks delicious!

  67. Angela Smith says

    March 13, 2014 at 10:37 am

    Yummy! I’m trying this recipe tonight!

  68. Shannon says

    April 16, 2014 at 4:23 am

    I love that you post vegetarian recipes. Most of the other (not all) websites that I visit seem to forget about us! This looks so good and simple to make. Namaste.

  69. Alyssa Laughlin says

    April 24, 2014 at 3:05 pm

    I have a vegetarian friend who will be coming to my house for a potluck dinner every Friday and I’ve been looking for recipes so I can be sure there is something she can eat. Where does one find soy crumbles in the market? Frozen food section? The recipe sounds good!

    • Demelza says

      June 9, 2014 at 11:51 am

      Hi, Cheryla!

      Yes, you can find soy crumbles in the frozen food section. At my local Wal-Mart, there’s actually a section for vegetarian products right by the frozen vegetables.

  71. Dana Matthews says

    October 27, 2015 at 11:57 pm

    This looks so good. I’m trying to eat healthier and I see all kinds of potential for this! Thanks for sharing!

  72. Marie Lowther says

    September 15, 2016 at 11:47 am

    My husband has made something similar to this recipe before but as used red lentil instead. I think we will have to try your additions to the recipe next time we make it. Thank you for sharing!

  73. Rosie says

    January 7, 2018 at 11:38 am

    This does look super. I have been eating vegetarian for years now, and it wasn’t intentional. I haven’t tried soy crumbles, and I would like to try them with this recipe.
