Easy & Creamy Hamburger Soup (Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free)

When you’re needing a simple and comforting weeknight dinner this creamy hamburger soup is the answer. With common ingredients that you keep on hand, this soup makes it easy to have dinner on the table without much fuss. It’s gluten-free and dairy-free. I’ve included directions to make it in an Instant Pot, slow cooker, or stovetop.

Simple Ingredients for Creamy Hamburger Soup:

• lean ground beef
• olive oil
• one medium onion
• three potatoes
• 1 can of Petite Diced Tomatoes (I used Red Gold – it’s labeled gluten-free)
• 1 can of cream style sweet corn (Walmart brand – and again it’s labeled gluten-free)
• 1 can of coconut milk (whisk the cream and water parts together)
• salt & pepper

These ingredients are all pretty common ingredients to have on hand. The tomatoes, creamed corn, and coconut milk are easy to keep in your cupboard so you could put this together quickly.

Meal Prep Tip: To make this even quicker is to have the hamburger already cooked. I like to brown up several pounds of ground beef with onions at a time and portion them out into freezer bags so all I have to do is grab a bag from the freezer and add it to the pot.

How to Make Creamy Hamburger Soup in an Instant Pot:

Select the saute setting and heat the 2 tablespoons of olive or avocado oil for a minute or two and then add the pound of lean ground beef and chop it while it browns with a large spatula or wooden spoon.

Add in the chopped onions and cook for 3-5 minutes until the onions just start to look translucent.

Add the three peeled and diced potatoes and one and a half cups of water. Secure the lid on the pot and select the manual setting and set for 6 minutes. When the cooking time is done do a quick release and press stop.

Pour into the pot the diced tomatoes, creamed corn, whisked coconut milk, and the seasonings.

Press the saute button again and cook for 8-10 minutes stirring frequently. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.

To make in a slow-cooker:

In a large skillet heat the oil and then add the lean ground beef and onions in a skillet. Cook until browned, chopping frequently. Add the beef and onions to the slow cooker with the potatoes, tomatoes, creamed corn, water, salt, and pepper. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. The last 20 minutes of cooking add in the whisked coconut milk.

Cook on the stovetop:

In a Dutch oven or large pot heat the oil and fry the lean ground beef and onions until browned. Add in the potatoes and water. Heat over medium-high heat for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Add in the creamed corn, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and the whisked coconut milk. Simmer for 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated through.
