Pumpkin & Ground Beef One Pot Soup Recipe

OK. You don’t really need that many ingredients for this soup, either. And substitutions are surprisingly easy. I’ll go through some of the possibilities for you!

Ingredients for Pumpkin & Ground Beef Soup:

*** 1 tbsp butter (or lard or duck fat or any other healthy fat)

*** 1/2 onion, diced

*** 2-4 garlic cloves, minced

*** 2 tsp Chipotle powder (you can reduce this amount if you like less spice)

*** 1 to 2 tsp Black pepper (same as above—reduce if you are not a spicy fan)

*** 1-2 tsp Smoked Paprika (if you reduced the above spices, consider the larger amount of smoked paprika)

*** 1/2 to 1 tsp cumin

*** One pound grass-fed ground beef

*** 1 to 2 cups pumpkin puree (I love pumpkin, so I go for a higher amount)

*** 2 cups bone broth (Find out how to make your own bone broth here)

*** 2 or 3 juicy tomatoes, diced OR 1 can of diced tomatoes

I use a large sauce pan, and just every single thing in it. Including browning up the ground beef in Step 1!

Step 1) Brown the beef and onion together in a large soup pot

Step 2) Add your spices

Yep! Still the same pan!

Step 3) Now add your pumpkin puree

Step 4) Pour in your bone broth and the tomatoes

Step 5) Stir all together well. Allow to simmer on low for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Once you add the liquids and tomatoes, you’ll need to simmer it on low for 15-30 minutes. This soaks in the flavors, plus it will thicken up the soup. Stir occasionally to be sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan.

That’s it! Can you believe how simple and easy this is? And it is SO good!

Top it with cheese, cilantro if you like, or jalapeños—-Mmmmm…..Delicious on a cold day!

NOTE: If you want to turn this into more of a keto style soup, just reduce the pumpkin and add 1/4 cup heavy cream at the end.

All ready! Top with some cheese if you want, or any other thing you want!

Final Thoughts on Pumpkin and Ground Beef Soup

I’ve made this recipe over and over. One, because it’s just SO good. And easy. And Mr. V. loves it! I have to admit, just the two of us have eaten the entire amount in an evening before (oh, the shame). But really. That’s how delicious it is!

The second reason I’ve made it over and over is because I wanted to be sure it’s flexible enough to work every time, with slight variations in the ingredients. And it does not disappoint! I think this soup is perfect for your next potluck or on a busy week night if you are scrambling to find something to make for dinner.
