Ingredients

Units Scale

Meat:

  • 1 lb ground beef

Produce:

  • 1 can (15 oz) green beans (drained)
  • 1/2 onion (chopped)
  • 1 can (15 oz) peas and carrots (drained)
  • 2 potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 1 large can (28 oz) stewed tomatoes

Condiments:

  • 1 large can (15 oz) tomato sauce

Baking & Spices:

  • Seasonings to taste (e.g., salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning)

Instructions

1. Cook the Ground Beef:

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat until fully browned. Break it up into crumbles as it cooks.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

2. Add the Tomatoes and Potatoes:

  1. Add the stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and diced potatoes to the pot. Stir to combine.

3. Add Veggies and Simmer:

  1. Add the green beans, peas, and carrots to the pot. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to taste. Stir well.
  2. Add enough water (or beef broth for extra flavor) to cover all the ingredients, about 4-5 cups.

4. Simmer the Soup:

  1. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors meld together. Stir occasionally.

5. Serve:

  1. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Pair with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal!
