  • 2 medium potatoes Diced, creaminess comes from these hearty additions.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning A blend of herbs elevates overall flavor.
  • 4 cups beef broth The foundation of your flavorful soup.
  • 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes With juice, adds acidity and sweetness to balance flavors.
  • 1 10.5 oz can condensed tomato soup Thickens the broth while enhancing tomato richness.
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste Concentrated flavor booster that adds depth.
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce A savory umami kick is provided here.
  • 1 14.5 oz can cut green beans For added color and nutrition without extra prep work.

Method
 

  1. Begin by heating olive oil in a dutch oven set over medium heat. Add the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic into the pot, cooking until the beef is thoroughly browned and crumbled, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  2. Mix in the sliced carrots and celery next, sautéing them until they start to soften, which should take another 6 to 8 minutes as their natural sweetness begins to emerge.
  3. Introduce a burst of flavor by stirring in the Italian seasoning along with a bay leaf; let them cook together for an additional minute or two to release their essential oils into the mix.
  4. Next, add the diced potatoes followed by pouring in four cups of beef broth into the pot; then add the diced tomatoes with their juice, condensed tomato soup, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce for a robust base.
  5. Finally, add in the green beans and corn; stir well before bringing everything to a boil again. Once boiling, reduce heat, cover it up tightly, and let it simmer for about 35 to 40 minutes or until all vegetables are tender and flavors meld seamlessly together.
