Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
  2. Add ground beef and garlic, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned (7-8 minutes). Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Pour in beef broth, tomato sauce, crushed tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
  5. Add kidney beans, corn, and green beans. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes. If soup is too thick, add water ½ cup at a time to reach desired consistency.
  6. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers.

Notes

Tips: For thicker soup, mash some beans against the pot. Substitutions: Swap corn/green beans for peas or zucchini. Use ground turkey for leaner option. Storage: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for 3 months. Thaw overnight before reheating.
