Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, canned
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1 cup frozen green beans
• 1 medium potato, diced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Drain excess fat if needed, then set the beef aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and red bell pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Return the cooked ground beef to the pot. Add the canned diced tomatoes, beef broth, diced potato, frozen corn, and frozen green beans.

Step 6

Mix in the ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

Step 9

Remove the soup from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy!
