Description
Easy, high protein ground beef and potato soup with mixed vegetables.
Ingredients
- 1/2 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 pound Extra Lean Ground Beef
- 12 oz bag Frozen Diced Onions
- 1/4 cup Tomato Paste
- 3 cloves Crushed Garlic
- 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 28 oz can Fire Roasted Crushed Tomatoes
- 4 cups Beef Broth
- 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
- 12 oz bag Frozen Mixed Vegetables
- 3 15-oz cans Diced New Potatoes, drained
- 1-2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar, to taste
- 1-2 Tablespoons Hot Sauce, to taste
Instructions
1. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat with the olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef and brown for 3-4 minutes before breaking apart and added the diced onion. Cook both together until the beef is cooked through, another 3-4 minutes.
2. Add the tomato paste, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
3. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, and Worceshtershire sauce. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
4. Add the diced potatoes and frozen mixed vegetables and stir everything together. Cover and cook for an additional 15 minutes. (You can let the soup simmer for longer to further develop flavors.)
5. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and hot sauce. Salt to taste before serving with grilled bread, cornbread, or crackers.
Notes
*For fresh potatoes, peel 1 1/2 pounds of russet or new potatoes and add them in step 2 with the tomato paste and other ingredients. You may need to slightly extend the cook time to cook the potatoes until fork tender.
You can use freshly diced onions instead of frozen, drained cans of mixed vegetables, or other frozen vegetables instead of mixed veggies.
For a spicier soup, you can swap the tomato paste for 2-3 crushed chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.
