Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 stalks celery stalks, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

• 6 cups beef broth
• 1 cup frozen green beans
• 1 piece bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside on a plate.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced potatoes, canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), and cooked ground beef back into the pot.

Step 6

Pour in the beef broth and stir to combine. Add the bay leaf, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 8

Stir in the frozen green beans and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt or pepper.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaf and garnish the soup with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 11

Ladle into bowls and serve hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side, if desired.
