Vegetable Beef Soup The Kids Love
🛒 Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef or stew meat (cubed) 🥩
- 4-5 cups Beef broth 🥣
- 2 cups Potatoes, peeled and diced 🥔
- 1 cup Carrots, sliced 🥕
- 1 cup Green beans (fresh or frozen) 🌿
- 1 cup Corn kernels 🌽
- 1 cup Peas 🟢
- 1 can (14.5 oz) Diced tomatoes 🍅
- 1 small Onion, diced 🧅
- 1 tsp Garlic powder & 1 tsp Dried oregano 🧄
- Salt & Black Pepper to taste 🧂
👩🍳 Instructions
- Brown the Beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the beef with the diced onions over medium-high heat until cooked through. Drain any excess grease. 🥩🔥
- Add Veggies: Stir in the potatoes, carrots, green beans, corn, and peas. 🥔🥕🌽
- The Liquid Gold: Pour in the beef broth and the can of diced tomatoes (with the juices!). Add your garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. 🥣🍅
- Simmer to Perfection: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 25–30 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are perfectly tender. ⏲️💨
- Serve: Ladle into big bowls and watch it disappear! It’s even better the next day after the flavors have melded together. 🥣✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Kid-Friendly” Secret: If your kids aren’t fans of chunky tomatoes, give the canned tomatoes a quick pulse in the blender before adding them to the pot! 🍅🤫
- Extra Hearty: Add a handful of small pasta shapes (like alphabet or stars) in the last 10 minutes of cooking for a fun twist! ⭐️🔡
