Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Beef and Aromatics
In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef with diced onion and minced garlic until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are soft and translucent.
Step 2: Season
Sprinkle in salt and pepper to taste, mixing thoroughly so the flavors blend evenly throughout the beef.
Step 3: Add Broth and Tomatoes
Pour in the beef broth, diced tomatoes, and condensed tomato soup. Stir to combine, allowing the tomato’s natural acidity to balance the richness of the meat.
Step 4: Enhance Flavor
Add Worcestershire sauce and Italian seasoning to deepen the flavor profile, giving the soup a satisfying, savory complexity.
Step 5: Fold in Vegetables and Potatoes
Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and diced potatoes. The frozen veggies make this recipe convenient, while the potatoes add heartiness and substance.
Step 6: Simmer
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes. This ensures the potatoes become tender and all the flavors meld together beautifully.
Serve hot for a nourishing, hearty meal that’s perfect for any day of the week.
