Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 russet potato, peeled and diced
• 1 cup green beans, trimmed and chopped
• 1 14-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set the beef aside.

Step 2

In the same pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced potatoes, green beans, canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, water, and tomato paste. Stir everything together.

Step 5

Return the cooked ground beef to the pot. Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 7

Stir in the frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking to heat them through.

Step 8

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
