Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 stalks celery stalks, sliced
• 2 medium potatoes, diced
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1 cup water
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 leaf bay leaf

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 5

Stir in the carrots, celery, and potatoes. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Add the canned diced tomatoes (including their juice), beef broth, and water. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Season the soup with oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and add the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 8

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and let the soup cook uncovered for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.

Step 10

Discard the bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Serve the soup hot with a side of crusty bread, if desired.
