Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 large carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 6 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 medium russet potatoes, cubed (¾-inch pieces)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen green beans
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 cup green peas
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (if using lean beef)

Instructions

  • Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and let sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to develop searing.
  • Break beef into grape-sized pieces and cook until no pink remains, about 5-6 minutes total. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Push beef to one side. Add diced onion to empty space and cook 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  • Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add carrots and celery, cooking 5 minutes until slightly softened.
  • Pour in beef broth and diced tomatoes with juice. Add thyme, oregano, and bay leaves.
  • Bring to boil, then reduce to gentle simmer. Add cubed potatoes and cook 15-20 minutes.
  • Add green beans and cook 10 minutes more.
  • Stir in corn and peas during final 5 minutes of cooking.
  • Remove bay leaves, taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For freezing: Omit potatoes as they become grainy when frozen. Add fresh potatoes when reheating.
  • Ground turkey can substitute for beef – add 1 tbsp olive oil to prevent drying.
  • Soup thickens as it cools. Thin with additional broth if needed when reheating.
  • Store refrigerated up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
