Ingredients
-
1 ¼ pounds 85% lean ground beef
-
1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
-
1 cup 1/2-inch pieces celery
-
2 tablespoons minced garlic
-
1 (32 ounce) carton beef stock
-
1 ½ cups peeled and chopped carrots
-
5 sprigs fresh parsley
-
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
-
2 sprigs fresh thyme
-
1 sprig fresh sage
-
1 piece cooking twine
-
1 large bay leaf
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
2 cups chopped red potatoes
-
1 ½ cups 1-inch cut fresh green beans
-
1 ½ cups frozen yellow corn kernels, thawed
-
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
Directions
-
Heat a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and cook ground beef until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add onion and celery and cook, stirring, until onion is soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
-
Pour in beef stock and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil and add carrots.
-
Tie parsley, rosemary, thyme, and sage together into a bundle with cooking twine and add to the pot. Add bay leaf and season soup with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for about 10 minutes.
-
Increase heat to medium and add potatoes, green beans, corn, and drained tomatoes. Return soup to a boil, partially with a lid so steam can still escape, and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, about 25 minutes. Remove herb bundle and bay leaf and discard. Adjust salt and pepper, if needed.
Cook's Note:
To create a stew-like gravy, dissolve 2 tablespoons cornstarch in 1/4 cup water to make a slurry. Sitr until there are no lumps. Add to the bubbling soup, stirring rapidly, until the liquid is slightly thickened.
