Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 14.5-ounce cans canned diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1 15-ounce can canned white beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups baby spinach (optional)
• 0 parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Push the browned beef to one side of the pot and add the diced onion to the other side. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 5

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth. Mix well to combine.

Step 6

Add the white beans, Italian seasoning, dried thyme, paprika, sugar, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir thoroughly.

Step 7

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

If using baby spinach, stir it into the soup during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking and allow it to wilt.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt or pepper if desired.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy your comforting bowl of Pantry Tomato Beef Soup!
