Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 2 large, peeled and diced carrots
• 2 sliced celery stalks
• 3 medium, peeled and diced potatoes
• 1 cup frozen corn kernels
• 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 5 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 2

While the beef is browning, prepare your vegetables: dice the onion, peel and dice the carrots, slice the celery, and peel and dice the potatoes.

Step 3

In a large slow cooker, add the browned ground beef, diced onion, carrots, celery, potatoes, and frozen corn kernels.

Step 4

Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato paste, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce to the slow cooker.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper until everything is well combined.

Step 6

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.

Step 7

Once cooked, give the soup a final stir, taste, and adjust the seasonings if necessary.

Step 8

Serve the soup hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
