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 fully browned and no pink remains. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cubed potatoes, diced zucchini, canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), and beef broth to the pot. Stir to combine.
Return the cooked ground beef to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and stir in the frozen green beans, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.
Cover the pot partially with a lid and let the soup simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot.
