Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 2 stalks, diced celery
- 2 medium, diced carrots
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 28 ounces, canned diced tomatoes
- 4 cups beef broth
- 3 medium, peeled and diced potatoes
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon (optional) hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (adjust to taste) black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess grease, if necessary.
Stir in the diced onion, celery, and carrots. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables soften slightly.
Add the minced garlic and Cajun seasoning. Stir well and cook for another 1 minute to release the aromatics.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) and the beef broth. Stir to combine.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot and bring the soup to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the frozen corn, frozen peas, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce, if using. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side.
