Ingredients
  

Beef and Aromatics
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
Vegetables
  • 2 medium carrots peeled and sliced
  • 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen green beans cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can 8 ounces tomato sauce
Broth and Seasonings
  • 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the ground beef and cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon until browned. Drain excess grease if needed.
  3. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3–4 minutes, until softened.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  6. Add the diced potatoes and sliced carrots. Cover and simmer for about 10–12 minutes.
  7. Add the green beans and frozen corn. Continue simmering uncovered for another 8–10 minutes, or until the potatoes and vegetables are tender.
  8. Stir in the red pepper flakes if using.
  9. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add a little more beef broth if you prefer a thinner consistency.
  10. Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
  11. Let the soup rest for a few minutes, then serve warm.
Food Safety:
  1. Cook ground beef to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Notes

  • Cut the potatoes and carrots into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
  • Brown the ground beef well to develop deeper savory flavor.
  • Add vegetables according to their cooking time to prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Frozen vegetables can be used instead of fresh vegetables.
  • Add extra beef broth if the soup becomes too thick.
