Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 14.5 ounces can of diced tomatoes
- 6 cups beef broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the diced potatoes, diced tomatoes (including their juices), and the cooked beef back into the pot.
Pour in the beef broth, and add the bay leaf and dried thyme. Stir to combine.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the frozen peas, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until the peas are heated through.
Remove the bay leaf and taste the soup, adjusting seasonings if necessary.
Serve in bowls, garnished with chopped parsley if desired, and enjoy the warmth of this hearty soup.
