1teaspoonWorcestershire sauce
1teaspoondried parsley
½teaspoondried basil
Instructions
In a large soup pot over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with diced onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Stir often and break the meat into crumbles until no pink remains. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the chopped potatoes, beef broth, condensed tomato soup, and petite diced tomatoes. Mix well so the flavors begin to combine.
Add the frozen mixed vegetables, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, basil, and pepper. Give everything a good stir.
Turn the heat up until the soup starts bubbling.
Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the soup simmer for at least 30 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the broth thickens.
Before serving, taste the broth and adjust seasoning with a little more salt or pepper if needed.
Notes
For a spicy kick, add Rotel tomatoes or chili powder.
Swap ground beef for turkey for a lighter version.
Add pasta during the last 10 minutes for extra heartiness.
Freeze leftovers for quick weeknight meals.
Always taste and adjust seasonings before serving for best flavor.
