Instructions
- Start off by warming a large Dutch Oven or other soup pot over medium heat.
- Add olive oil and onions then sauté for 5 minutes, or until soft and translucent.
- Add in carrots and celery and continue to sauté until soft. About 3-4 minutes. Pro Tip: If you want to most flavor out of your veggies add the salt in while the veggies are simmering. This will add so much depth of flavor to your final soup.
- Add the ground beef and break it up with a spatula or wooden spoon.
- Cook until it is completely browned.
- Add in the spices, garlic and worcheshire sauce.
- Mix well so all the veggies and meat 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, crushed tomatoes, corn, green beans, and kidney beans. Mix everything well.
- Optional: Add more water if you like a thinner soup.
- Increase to medium-high heat and bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce to low and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Serve warm with some fresh bread!
Notes
Ingredient Notes:
Ground Beef: This recipe calls for a lean ground beef but ground turkey can also be used in its place.
Kidney Beans: If you do not want to use beans diced up potatoes are also a great option. Just let them simmer until they are soft.
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.
Water: This soup is pretty thick. If you want a thinner consistency just add in more beef stock or water.
