Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 medium carrots sliced
  • 2 stalks celery chopped
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables peas, corn, green beans
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Stir in the sliced carrots, chopped celery, and diced bell pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften.
  4. Add the diced tomatoes (with juice), beef broth, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes.
  5. Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and simmer for another 5-10 minutes until heated through. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Serve hot, and enjoy your hearty soup!
