Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb (90 to 93% lean) Lean ground beef
  • 1 tsp Olive oil
  • 1 medium Onion, diced
  • 2 medium Carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks Celery, diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) Diced tomatoes (canned)
  • 2 cups Mixed vegetables (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 small Potatoes, diced (optional)
  • 6 cups Low-sodium beef broth
  • 3/4 tsp Salt (or to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tsp Dried Italian herbs or mixed herbs
  • 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Brown the beef
    Heat a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook until fully browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat if needed.
  2. Sauté the vegetables
    Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic to the pot. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables begin to soften and release their aroma.
  3. Add broth and remaining ingredients
    Stir in the diced tomatoes, mixed vegetables, potatoes (if using), beef broth, salt, pepper, and herbs.
  4. Simmer gently
    Bring the soup to a light boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and flavors are well blended.
  5. Taste and adjust
    Taste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • Using lean ground beef keeps this soup lighter while still satisfying.
  • You can increase vegetables and slightly reduce beef for an even healthier version.
  • Fresh or frozen vegetables both work well, no need to thaw frozen vegetables first.
