Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 2 cups (473 milliliters) Yukon yellow potatoes, peeled and chopped into small 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 bag (16 ounces / 454 grams) frozen mixed vegetables
Liquid and Seasoning:
- 2 cans (14.5 ounces / 411 grams each) beef broth
- 1 can (10 ounces / 284 grams) condensed tomato soup
- 1 can (15 ounces / 425 grams) petite diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Sear ground beef and aromatics in a soup pot over medium-high heat at 375°F. Crumble meat while cooking with onions and garlic for 5-7 minutes until beef browns and onions soften, releasing rich savory fragrance.
- Drain accumulated grease from meat to prevent excessive oiliness and maintain clean flavor profile.
- Incorporate potatoes, beef broth, tomato soup, diced tomatoes, frozen vegetables, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and basil into the pot. Thoroughly mix ingredients to distribute evenly.
- Elevate mixture to boiling point, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, allowing ingredients to meld and develop complex flavors. Potatoes should become tender but maintain structural integrity.
- Evaluate soup’s seasoning, adjusting salt levels to personal preference. Ensure balanced flavor throughout the preparation.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef to reduce excess grease and create a healthier soup base.
- Swap out regular potatoes for sweet potatoes or cauliflower for a lower-carb alternative that still provides hearty texture.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure your broth and tomato soup are certified gluten-free and double-check all ingredient labels.
- Boost protein content by adding a can of drained white beans or lentils during the simmering stage for extra nutrition and thickness.
