Cooking Steps
- In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add chopped onions, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
- Stir in the diced potatoes and canned tomatoes, along with their juice. Mix well.
- Add the beef broth and give everything a good stir. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- If you're using frozen green beans, add them in the last 5 minutes of cooking. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze the soup in labeled, freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then warm on the stovetop over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth if needed.
