Ingredients

Scale

Main Soup Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14 oz)
  • 1 cup frozen peas

Flavor Enhancers:

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For Creaminess:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk (optional)

Optional Toppings:

  • Mashed potatoes or potato croutons
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • Cook the Ground Beef: In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  • Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  • Add Liquids and Seasonings: Stir in the beef broth, diced tomatoes, frozen peas, dried thyme, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  • Add Creaminess: If you prefer a creamy texture, stir in the heavy cream or milk. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
  • Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with mashed potatoes or potato croutons, shredded cheddar cheese, and fresh parsley.

Notes

  • If you prefer a lighter version, you can skip the heavy cream and opt for a leaner ground beef.
  • The smoked paprika adds depth to the flavor, but you can omit it if you want a more traditional taste.
  • This recipe can be made in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
