Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 medium carrots, sliced
- 3 stalks celery stalks, sliced
- 2 medium Russet potato, diced
- 15 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 6 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup frozen green beans
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking up the meat as it browns. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot with the ground beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots, celery, and diced potatoes to the pot. Stir well to combine the vegetables with the beef.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, and tomato paste. Mix thoroughly to ensure the tomato paste dissolves into the liquid.
Add Worcestershire sauce, dried Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, black pepper, and the bay leaf. Stir well.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After 20 minutes, stir in the frozen green beans and frozen corn. Cover and let the soup simmer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Taste the soup and adjust seasonings if necessary. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side.
