Description
A comforting one-pot Hamburger Vegetable Soup filled with vibrant vegetables and savory beef, perfect for cozy dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (or alternative like turkey or chicken)
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup diced celery
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups beef broth (or vegetable broth for lighter flavor)
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, with juice
- 1 cup green beans, chopped (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1 cup of peas for extra color and flavor
- Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, begin by browning the ground beef. Cook until it’s no longer pink, making sure to crumble it as it cooks.
- Once the meat is cooked, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté these vegetables for about 5-7 minutes until they’re tender and the onion becomes translucent.
- Introduce the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, allowing the fragrant aroma to fill your kitchen.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Add in the chopped green beans, corn, and potatoes, giving everything a good stir. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
- If you opted for peas, toss them in during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. A little sprinkle of parsley on top can enhance both the look and the flavor of your soup!
Notes
For a healthier alternative, use extra-lean ground turkey, substitute potatoes with cauliflower, and ensure broth is gluten-free if necessary.
