One of my favorite things about fall is making soups of any kind. I confess that I have an ongoing love affair with soups (check my Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe). I love them so much that I don’t even wait for the cold weather to have a delicious bowl of soup, even though I think soups taste even better during fall and winter.

I also can’t forget to mention that I adore how our home smells good when the soup is cooking on the stove. It reminds me of my childhood when my mom, after arriving from work, would make soup for me and my sister. Good memories! Whenever something like my Chicken Vegetable Soup Recipe, Sweet Potato Chicken Soup Recipe, or Ground Turkey White Bean Kale Soup is simmering on the stove, the whole house smells amazing.

I love this Ground Beef Vegetable Soup because it’s loaded with flavor, and although this is a soup, it is also a complete meal with lots of good ingredients for you.

This soup cooks very fast because all the veggies are diced very small, and the only thing that will take more time is cooking the ground beef. This is definitely a colourful fall soup that not only you, but your entire family will love having around a fireplace or watching a fun movie. How nice is that!

How to make ground beef vegetable soup

It’s simple! Just combine ground beef, vegetables, and broth on the stove and simmer until done.

INGREDIENTS

• Ground beef – use an extra-lean blend
• Garlic, minced
• White onion
• Potatoes – yellow varieties like Yukon Gold work best
• Sweet potato
• Green beans – fresh or frozen
• Canned diced tomatoes
• Chicken broth – or stock
• Tomato sauce
• Spices – garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper
• Garnish (optional) – chopped green onion or fresh parsley

Ingredient substitutions

• Ground beef – ground turkey, or chicken are other lean meats that will work well
• Garlic – 4 freshly minced cloves is equivalent to the minced amount
• Onion – can be replaced with yellow or sweet onions as well
• Potatoes – red potatoes are a good replacement; Russet will work, but may not hold their shape
• Broth – substitute equal amounts of beef broth or vegetable stock

INSTRUCTIONS

Prep the ingredients

Wash and peel the potatoes and sweet potatoes. Then dice all of the vegetables so the pieces are about the same size.

Also, measure out the liquid ingredients and spices.

Make the soup

Next, brown the ground, then remove from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, sauté the garlic, onion, and celery until browned and fragrant.

Return the ground beef to the pan, along with both kinds of potatoes, tomatoes, broth, tomato sauce, and spices.

Stir to combine, then bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat and simmer covered until the potatoes start to soften.

Finish and serve

Add the green beans and cook a few more minutes, until fork-tender. Also, adjust any spices as needed.

Spoon into bowls and top with green onions or fresh parsley.

Serve with a chopped salad or crusty bread if your diet allows.
