Hearty Vegetable and Beef Soup

Hearty Vegetable and Beef Soup

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
• 1 cup green beans (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 1 cup corn kernels
• 1 cup peas
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Optional Additions

• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (for a spicy kick)
• 1 cup cabbage, chopped (for extra heartiness)
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (for a deeper flavor)
• 1 bay leaf (for added aroma)
• ½ cup cooked pasta or rice (to make it even more filling)

Tips for Success

1. Brown the beef properly: Cook the ground beef until fully browned, then drain excess fat for a lighter soup.
2. Layer flavors: Sauté onions and garlic before adding other ingredients to deepen the soup’s flavor.
3. Let it simmer: The longer the soup cooks, the better the flavors meld together. Aim for at least 45 minutes.
4. Use fresh or frozen vegetables: While canned vegetables work, fresh or frozen options provide better texture and taste.
5. Customize it: Adjust seasoning based on your preference and swap vegetables based on availability.
