Preparation
- In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook it until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes. Make sure to break it up into small pieces as it cooks.
- Drain excess fat if necessary, and add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onions are translucent, around 3-4 minutes.
- Incorporate the sliced carrots and celery, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until they start to soften.
- Pour in the beef broth and the canned diced tomatoes (with juice). Stir to combine.
- Sprinkle in the oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Once ready, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For lighter versions, you can substitute ground turkey or chicken. Add vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for more nutrients. Ensure to sauté aromatics well to build a flavor base.
