How to Make Vegetable Beef Soup
Step 1: Brown the Beef
In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef (or stew meat) over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics
Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
Step 3: Add the Liquid & Potatoes
Pour in the beef broth and diced tomatoes. Stir in the potatoes and bay leaves. Bring to a boil.
Step 4: Add Seasonings
Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
Step 5: Add Vegetables
Stir in frozen mixed vegetables, green beans, corn, carrots, and celery. Simmer for another 15–20 minutes until everything is heated through and flavors meld.
Step 6: Serve
Remove bay leaves. Ladle hot Vegetable Beef Soup into bowls and serve with crusty bread or crackers.
