Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 large potato, peeled and diced
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
4 cups beef broth
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup frozen green beans
1 cup frozen corn
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions
- Heat a large soup pot over medium heat. Drizzle in the olive oil and add the chopped onion. Let it cook for a few minutes until it softens and turns slightly golden. Add the garlic and stir it around for just a minute so it doesn’t burn.
- Toss in the ground beef and break it apart with a spoon. Keep stirring and cooking until the meat is fully browned and no longer pink. Drain the excess fat if needed, then let the beef cook for another minute to deepen the color.
- Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot. Stir everything together so the vegetables start to pick up the flavor from the beef. Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices and add the tomato sauce. Give the pot a gentle stir to bring it all together.
- Pour in the beef broth. Sprinkle in the basil, oregano, and paprika. Add a good pinch of salt and a few cracks of black pepper. Stir well, then bring the soup to a boil.
- Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Cover the pot with a lid but leave it slightly ajar. Let the soup simmer gently for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the broth has thickened slightly.
- Add the frozen green beans and corn. Stir again and let the soup simmer for another 10 minutes. The vegetables should be soft but still have a nice bite to them.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more salt or pepper depending on your taste. When everything is warm and well blended, take the soup off the heat.
- Ladle it into bowls and top with chopped fresh parsley if you like. Serve it warm with a slice of bread or crackers on the side.

Notes
- You can swap the vegetables based on what you have at home. Peas, zucchini, or bell peppers work well too. Just add them during the last 10 minutes of cooking so they don’t turn mushy.
- For a thicker soup, let it simmer uncovered for the last few minutes. If you like it more brothy, just add a little extra beef broth or water as it cooks.
