Are you a soup lover? Could you make soup every night of the week? So could I! Here are my other go-to soup recipes:
Creamy Chicken, Tomato and Veggie Soup
Ingredients
Ground Beef: This recipe calls for a lean ground beef but ground turkey can also be used in its place.
Yukon Potatoes: The best potatoes to use in their soup are Yukon gold potatoes. Baby red potatoes can also be used or even a can or two of kidney beans.
Beef Broth: Use a good quality beef stock. My personal favorite is Better than Bouillon. Just add to hot water, mix and add to the soup. The best place to get it is Costco but can also be ordered on amazon.
Full measurements in the recipe card.
Instructions
Heat a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat on the stove.
Add in olive oil and onions then sauté until soft and translucent. About 5 minutes.
Add in carrots and celery and continue to sauté until soft. About 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground beef and break it up with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Cook until it is completely browned.
Add in the diced potatoes, spices, garlic and worcheshire sauce.
Mix well so all the veggies and potatoes are coated in the seasoning. Allow to cook for a few minutes.
Slowly pour in the beef stock and stir well.
Then, dump in the canned tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes.
Mix everything well.
Increase to medium-high heat and bring to a gentle boil.
Reduce to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft.
In the last 5 minutes, add in the green beans and corn to allow to heat up.
The soup is done when the potatoes are soft and tender.
Serve with some sourdough bread.
Storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
This soup freezes really well. Just keep in a freezer-safe container. Leave about 1" of head space to allow for expansion.
When you want to reheat, take the soup out the night before and thaw in the refrigerator. Then, warm on the stove in a small pot.
Variations
Slow Cooker: This soup can be easily made in a slow cooker. Just brown the ground beef on the stove then add everything in the crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours.
Ground Turkey: Ground turkey can be used in place of ground beef. Just substitute the beef broth for chicken broth.
Cheeseburger soup: Add some cheese and make this a cheeseburger soup.
Spicy: This soup can easily be made spicy. Use spicy Italian sausage instead of ground beef and add in some red pepper flakes.
Substitutions
Russet Potatoes or red potatoes: Either of these can be used in place of the Yukon gold.
Frozen Vegetables can be used in place of canned. Just add them with the stock so it has a little longer to bring to temp.
Equipment
Large Dutch Oven or other soup pot: Make sure it's at least 7 quarts or bigger.

I used sweet tender white canned corn and only half a caN. Added extra carrots, frozen peas and stewed tomatoes. Egg noodles are great too.. soup was delicious
I love the variation you did! Frozen peas is a great add in as well as the stewed tomatoes. Thank you for sharing!
