Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup sweet onions, diced
  • 3-5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 stalks celery, diced
  • 32 oz canned whole tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 lb potatoes, diced
  • 1 lb frozen mixed vegetables
  • 1 tsp ground thyme
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp beef bouillon (optional)
  • 1 tsp salt, or more to taste

Instructions

1. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven (6qt or larger) over medium heat. Add vegetable oil.

2. Once oil is hot, add diced onions and sauté until soft. Add garlic and cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.

3. Add ground beef. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Cook until beef is no longer pink.

4. Add celery, whole tomatoes, beef broth, potatoes, thyme, and oregano. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5–7 minutes until potatoes are tender.

5. Add frozen mixed vegetables and bring the soup back to a boil.

6. Stir in granulated sugar and beef bouillon if using. Add additional salt to taste.

7. Remove from heat. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

For slow cooker: Sear onions, garlic, and beef on the stovetop, then transfer to slow cooker with remaining ingredients. Cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 8 hours.

For Instant Pot: Use ‘sear’ function for onions, garlic, and beef. Add remaining ingredients and cook on HIGH pressure for 5 minutes, then natural release for 5 minutes before manual release.

Drain excess fat if using beef with less than 90% lean meat for a lighter soup.

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
