Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 2 medium potatoes, diced
• 1 medium zucchini, diced
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup frozen green beans
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if necessary and set aside the cooked beef.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and the onion is translucent.

Step 4

Add the diced carrots, celery, potatoes, and zucchini to the pot. Sauté for 5 minutes to slightly soften the vegetables.

Step 5

Return the cooked ground beef to the pot. Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, and tomato paste. Mix well to combine.

Step 6

Season the mixture with oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the bay leaf.

Step 7

Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Add the frozen green beans and cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf and discard it. Taste the soup stew and adjust seasonings as necessary.

Step 10

Ladle the soup stew into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
