Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 4 large carrots
• 3 medium potatoes
• 2 celery stalks
• 1 large onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
• 6 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the carrots, potatoes, and onion into small cubes. Slice the celery into thin pieces and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until the beef is fully browned. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Step 4

Stir in the diced carrots, potatoes, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Add the canned diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato paste, and beef broth to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Season the soup with dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and add the bay leaf.

Step 7

Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and let it cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the carrots and potatoes are tender.

Step 8

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
