Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 6 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup frozen green beans
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 2 teaspoons dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat and set the browned beef aside on a plate.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and slightly softened.

Step 4

Add the carrots, celery, and cubed potatoes to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the vegetables to begin softening.

Step 5

Return the browned ground beef to the pot. Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, and tomato paste. Mix well to combine.

Step 6

Season the soup with dried parsley, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 8

Add the frozen green beans and frozen corn to the pot. Stir and cook for an additional 5–7 minutes, until the frozen vegetables are heated through.

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers for an even heartier meal.
