Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 6 cups beef broth
- 15 ounces diced tomatoes (canned with juices)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 medium russet potato, peeled and cubed
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons optional: fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat and return the beef to the pot.
Step 2
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are softened and translucent.
Step 3
Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables, cubed potato, beef broth, diced tomatoes (with juices), and tomato paste. Mix well to combine.
Step 4
Season the soup with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to ensure all the flavors are evenly distributed.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Step 6
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. For added freshness, sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
Step 7
Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers for a satisfying meal. Enjoy!
