Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Brown ground beef in a large pot over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a spoon until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add diced sausage to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until sausage edges brown slightly, ~3 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in beef broth, tomatoes with juice, diced pickle, and pickle juice. Stir to combine.

  4. Step 4

    Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook uncovered for 10 minutes to meld flavors.

  5. Step 5

    Taste and adjust salt and pepper. The soup should taste savory, salty, and tangy.

  6. Step 6

    Ladle into bowls and serve hot alongside warm bread for dipping.
