Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic cloves
• 3 medium, peeled and diced potatoes
• 2 large, peeled and sliced carrots
• 2 sliced celery stalks
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 4 cups beef broth
• 15 ounces, drained and rinsed canned kidney beans
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 leaf bay leaf

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot with the ground beef. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the diced potatoes, sliced carrots, and celery. Cook for 3-4 minutes to lightly soften the vegetables.

Step 4

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with juices) and the beef broth. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Add the drained and rinsed kidney beans, frozen corn, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, paprika, thyme, and bay leaf. Stir everything together.

Step 6

Bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. Let it simmer for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and carrots are tender.

Step 7

Remove the bay leaf from the pot. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy with some crusty bread or crackers if desired.
