Inspired: The Friends alum invited fans into her kitchen as she recreated food blogger Ree Drummond’s hamburger soup recipe using a Staub coccotte
A multitasking cocotte from Staub, which can be used on or in a stovetop, was the vessel of choice Courtney used for making hamburger soup.
This is a dish that uses ground beef, onions, celery sticks, garlic, tomatoes, peppers, beef broth, carrots, and more to taste just like a burger, but provide several of the recommended five servings of veggies per day.
The Staub Cocotte Pot can help evenly distribute the heat of recipes that require slow cooking on the stovetop. This is thanks to the black matte enamel interior, which ensures exceptional tanning and heat retention and distribution.
