  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14 oz)
  • 1 cup frozen peas

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.

  • Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with mashed potatoes or potato croutons, shredded cheddar cheese, and fresh parsley.
  • Enjoy: A hearty and flavorful bowl of comfort!

Notes

  • If you want to make it even heartier, add extra vegetables like parsnips or corn.
