- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 medium, diced carrots
- 2 diced celery stalks
- 1 medium, diced zucchini
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the diced onion and garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the carrots, celery, and zucchini. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with their liquid) and beef broth. Stir well to combine.
Add the kidney beans, white beans, oregano, thyme, cumin, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Stir to incorporate all the ingredients.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
Remove the bay leaf before serving and ladle the soup into bowls.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm. Enjoy!
