Ingredients
Scale
- 1 yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 russet potato (about 3/4 lb.)
- 1 28oz. can diced tomatoes
- 1.5 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 12 oz. frozen vegetables (corn, carrots, green beans)
- salt to taste
Instructions
-
Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add the onion and garlic to a soup pot along with the olive oil. Sauté over medium heat until the onions are soft and translucent.
-
Add the ground beef to the pot and continue to sauté until the ground beef is cooked through. If using a higher fat content ground beef, you can drain the excess fat, if you prefer.
-
While the beef is cooking, peel and dice the russet potato into ½-inch cubes.
-
Add the cubed potatoes, diced tomatoes (with juices), Italian seasoning, pepper, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce to the pot. Stir to combine.
-
Turn the heat up to medium-high and allow the soup to come up to a boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium-low and let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
-
Add the frozen vegetables to the pot and allow the soup to come back up to a simmer. Simmer the vegetables in the soup for about five minutes.
-
Finally, taste the soup and add salt to help the flavors pop. Start with ½ tsp, if desired, and add more until it reaches your desired level.
Notes
- You can substitute ground beef for stew beef, though it will change the texture of the soup.
- For added richness, try adding a splash of heavy cream or half-and-half near the end of cooking.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, you can mash some of the potatoes with a fork once they’re cooked, or add a cornstarch slurry.
