Hamburger soup tastes like a juicy burger!
Downshiftology's latest recipe has prompted a little family food history. One viewer remembers a dad making hamburger soup in the 1980s, chilling it overnight and skimming off the fat before reheating it for dinner. Others have more immediate questions: where is the recipe, and where did Lisa get those containers?
"Hamburger soup tastes like a juicy burger!" was the channel's only new upload, reaching about 62,000 views. The description promises burger-like comfort in a one-pot meal of ground beef, tender potatoes and vegetables, with tomato broth taking the place of a bun.
It also has the strongest daily momentum among the channel's active uploads, narrowly above "MISSISSIPPI POT ROAST | The most underrated pot roast recipe!" That earlier October recipe takes a from-scratch approach to the slow-cooker dish, making the seasoning mixes rather than using store-bought packets. Pepperoncini and their brine bring tang, while butter and ranch-style seasoning supply richness. The older "Chimichurri Sauce" adds a fresh, herby counterpoint to those two beef dinners.
The wider week was modest: roughly 455,000 additional views, with subscribers unchanged and daily viewing a little below its usual level. Nearby food channels had busier weeks, particularly The Plant Slant, while James Hoffmann also had unchanged subscribers. For Downshiftology, the conversation stayed pleasingly practical: one soup viewer is already considering turnip and beans as additions.

What viewers say
My dad would make this when I was a kid in the 80s. He would cook it one day let it cool put into fridge then break it out the next day while it was cold he would scoop the majority of the fat out then reheat for dinner. It was good but very low in the fat side
