Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb extra lean ground beef
  • 8 cups beef broth
  • 1 can (28 oz) petite diced tomatoes
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 cup fresh green beans, trimmed and cut
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Equipment

  • Dutch oven or large soup pot
  • wooden spoon
  • chef's knife
  • cutting board
  • measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion together, breaking the beef into small crumbles until browned and the onion is tender. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the carrots, celery, beef broth, diced tomatoes, potatoes, green beans, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  4. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 25 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  5. Stir in the frozen peas, frozen corn, and chopped parsley.
  6. Cook for another 3–5 minutes until the peas and corn are heated through.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers.

Notes

Brown the beef well before adding the liquids to develop deep flavor. Drain excess grease for a cleaner broth. Add the peas and corn only during the final few minutes to keep them vibrant and tender. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving, and let the soup rest for 5 minutes after cooking to allow the flavors to meld.
