Easy Vegetable Beef Soup

A hearty and healthy vegetable beef soup packed with tender beef, fresh vegetables, and a flavorful broth, perfect for a comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounces) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
  2. Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Pour in beef broth and diced tomatoes with their juice. Stir to combine.
  4. Add carrots, celery, green beans, corn, peas, and diced potato to the pot.
  5. Season with dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
  6. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 30-40 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
  7. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve hot.

Notes

For a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot and stir. You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey for a leaner option. Adding fresh herbs at the end enhances flavor.
