- Measuring cups and spoons
- Ladle
- Airtight storage containers (for storing leftovers)
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef 90% lean
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 medium potatoes peeled and diced
- 3 ½ cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes with juices
- 1 10.75-ounce can condensed tomato soup
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 3 cups frozen mixed vegetables or fresh vegetables of choice
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with diced onion and minced garlic until the beef is no longer pink and nicely browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add diced potatoes, beef broth, canned diced tomatoes with their juices, tomato soup, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, bay leaf, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the potatoes to begin softening.
- Add the frozen mixed vegetables and continue simmering uncovered for an additional 15–20 minutes or until the potatoes and vegetables are tender.
- Remove the bay leaf. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
