Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 10 ounces frozen mixed vegetables 1 10-ounce bag
  • 4 cups beef broth or chicken broth
  • 14 ounces fire-roasted diced tomatoes or regular diced tomatoes, 1 14-ounce can
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste or Ketchup optional, see notes
  • 2 large russet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a Dutch oven or stock pot over medium high heat. Add in the ground beef and cook until browned and cooked through. Drain off all but about 3 tablespoons of the grease.
  2. Return the pot to the heat, and add in the onion and garlic. Cook until the veggies are just tender and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add in the frozen mixed vegetables, broth, diced tomatoes, tomato paste or ketchup (if using), potatoes, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
  4. Taste for seasoning, adding additional salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • Out of onion and garlic? Sub 1 tablespoon onion powder or dried minced onion for the onion, and 2 teaspoons garlic powder for the garlic.
  • To stretch this meal into six servings, add two more peeled and diced potatoes and an extra can of diced tomatoes.
  • To reduce the amount of ground beef used, add an additional peeled and diced potato in place of half of the ground beef.
  • The tomato paste or ketchup isn’t necessary, but it does give the base of the soup a richer body. If you don’t have it, just leave it out!
