Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1 onion chopped
2 ribs celery chopped
2 carrots peeled and chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
6 cups low-sodium beef broth or vegetable broth
2 large red potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes cut into small cubes
2 cups fresh green beans trimmed and cut into one-inch pieces
1 (15 ounce) can corn drained
1 (15 ounce) can fire roasted tomatoes
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or heavy stock pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef breaking it up with a spoon. When ground beef is halfway done browning, add the onions, celery, and carrots. Continue cooking until beef is fully browned and onion and celery are soft. Drain any excess grease.
Turn the heat to low and add oregano, basil, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously.
Add the beef broth, potatoes, and green beans, and bring the mixture to a boil. Simmer for 20 minutes. Add the fire-roasted diced tomatoes and corn. Simmer for about 5 minutes or until everything is tender. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Notes

Use ground beef with a little fat. Fat is what gives it flavor. Just remember to drain the fat before adding the broth.
My go-to potatoes for this recipe are red or Yukon Gold potatoes for soup. They will maintain their shape during the cooking process without breaking down. Do not use Russet Potatoes, as they will break down.
In a hurry? No problem, use frozen vegetables and save yourself some time.
For optimal flavor and texture, simmer just until the vegetables are soft.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat or in the microwave.
