Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 stalks celery, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 lb Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 4 medium potatoes)
- 4 carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can green beans, drained
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes with juices
- 1 (15-ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
- 1 (15-ounce) can corn, drained
- 4–6 cups beef broth (I used 6 cups)
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- Salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, to taste
- Toppings (optional):
- Grated cheese
- Sour cream
- Fresh parsley or cilantro
Instructions
- Sauté the vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and celery, and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Brown the beef: Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
- Add the rest of the ingredients: Stir in the Yukon gold potatoes, carrots, green beans, tomato paste, diced tomatoes with their juices, black-eyed peas, corn, and 4 cups of beef broth. Mix until everything is well combined. Add up to 2 more cups of broth if you prefer a thinner soup.
- Simmer the soup: Increase heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 14-16 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Season and adjust: Taste the soup and adjust seasonings with more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes if needed.
- Serve: Serve hot with your desired toppings, such as grated cheese, sour cream, or fresh herbs.
Notes
- Customization: Feel free to add more vegetables such as bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrients.
- For extra flavor: You can also add a splash of hot sauce to enhance the taste.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave until heated through.
