Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 2 large, peeled and diced carrots
- 2 sliced celery stalks
- 3 medium, peeled and diced potatoes
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 5 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary.
While the beef is browning, prepare your vegetables: dice the onion, peel and dice the carrots, slice the celery, and peel and dice the potatoes.
In a large slow cooker, add the browned ground beef, diced onion, carrots, celery, potatoes, and frozen corn kernels.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato paste, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce to the slow cooker.
Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper until everything is well combined.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Once cooked, give the soup a final stir, taste, and adjust the seasonings if necessary.
Serve the soup hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
