Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 lb ground beef (lean or regular)

Vegetables

  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

Other Ingredients

  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with juices
  • 6 cups beef broth (preferably low sodium)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s nicely browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat to keep the soup from becoming greasy.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: Add diced onions, minced garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and the onions turn translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add Vegetables and Broth: Stir in diced potatoes, green beans, corn, and canned diced tomatoes along with their juices. Pour in the beef broth and stir well to combine all ingredients.
  4. Season and Simmer: Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and cover. Let it simmer gently for 30-40 minutes or until the potatoes and vegetables are tender.
  5. Final Taste and Adjust: Give the soup a taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Optionally add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of smoked paprika for extra richness.

Notes

  • Use fresh vegetables for best flavor and texture.
  • Properly brown the beef to develop a richer base.
  • Season at multiple stages to build well-rounded flavor.
  • Simmer gently to meld flavors without overcooking vegetables.
  • Chop vegetables uniformly for even cooking.
