How To Make hamburger potato soup

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place the poblano peppers on the baking sheet with space between them. Roast for 15 minutes, turning halfway through the cooking process.
  • Step 2
    Steam them in a paper bag or bowl covered with plastic wrap for 10 minutes. Peel the skins, cut off the stems, and remove the seeds. Dice them and set them aside.
  • Step 3
    Brown the ground beef in a Dutch oven over medium heat. About halfway through the browning process, add the onions, celery, and carrots. Cook until the onions and celery are soft.
  • Step 4
    Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, dried marjoram, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
  • Step 5
    Add the beef broth, potatoes, corn, and the poblanos you set aside. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce and simmer until all the vegetables are tender. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
