Step-by-Step Instructions for Ground Beef Vegetable Soup
  1. In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add 1 pound of lean ground beef, along with 1 diced medium onion and 2 minced garlic cloves. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and crumbly.
  3. Next, stir in 3 sliced medium carrots and 2 sliced celery stalks. Sauté for an additional 6-8 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.
  4. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning and toss in 1 bay leaf. Stir and cook for another minute.
  5. Incorporate 2 diced medium potatoes, followed by 4 cups of beef broth, 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 can of condensed tomato soup, and 3 tablespoons of tomato paste. Stir until well combined.
  6. Pour in 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, stirring thoroughly to mix it in.
  7. Mix in 1 can of green beans and 1 can of corn, drained. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat; then lower the heat to simmer.
  8. Cover the pot and simmer the soup on low for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
