Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 (14.5-ounce) cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- Optional: shaved parmesan and roughly chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and use a spatula to break it up. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the beef until browned, stirring occasionally. Once fully cooked, drain the beef and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in the pot, then add the onion and bell pepper and saute for 3 to 4 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic, basil, oregano, and thyme and saute another 30 seconds.
- Add the ground beef back to the pot along with the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and beef broth. Cover the pot, bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, and stir occasionally for 20 minutes. Note: if you haven't yet pre-cooked your rice, you can cook it while the soup is simmering.
- Stir in the cooked rice. If you'd like a slightly thinner soup, feel free to add more broth. To serve, ladle into bowls and top with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes
- Each serving is about 2 cups.
- I recommend using 90% lean ground beef so that you don't have any leftover grease to remove from the pot. If you use 80% ground beef, you'll need to drain the pot before adding the veggies to saute.
- You can substitute ground turkey or ground chicken for the ground beef.
- You can substitute Italian seasoning for the individual spices.
