Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium carrots, sliced
• 3 stalks celery stalks, sliced
• 2 medium Russet potato, diced
• 15 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 6 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup frozen green beans
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 bay leaf

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking up the meat as it browns. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot with the ground beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 3

Add the sliced carrots, celery, and diced potatoes to the pot. Stir well to combine the vegetables with the beef.

Step 4

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, and tomato paste. Mix thoroughly to ensure the tomato paste dissolves into the liquid.

Step 5

Add Worcestershire sauce, dried Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, black pepper, and the bay leaf. Stir well.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

After 20 minutes, stir in the frozen green beans and frozen corn. Cover and let the soup simmer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Taste the soup and adjust seasonings if necessary. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side.
