Ingredients
  

Meat and Broth
  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground lamb for a traditional touch)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Vegetables
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced

  • 2 cups mashed potatoes (prepared ahead of time)
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • to taste Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef for about 5-7 minutes until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
  3. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Add the frozen peas and let the soup cook for an additional 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with creamy mashed potatoes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an added touch of flavor.

Notes

This soup pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or dinner rolls. Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the meat, and use cauliflower mash for a healthier twist. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
