Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat broth in a large pot over medium-high heat until steaming, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add diced onion, ham, sausage, and ground beef. Stir to break up the meat and distribute.

  3. Step 3

    Simmer uncovered until ground beef is no longer pink and flavors meld, about 8 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in canned tomatoes with juice, sliced pickle, vinegar, salt, and black pepper to taste.

  5. Step 5

    Simmer 4 more minutes until pickle flavor settles into the broth and soup is hot through.

  6. Step 6

    Taste and adjust salt, vinegar, and pepper. Serve hot, ladling plenty of broth into each bowl.
