Best Ever Easy Vegetable Beef Soup: A Comforting Classic for Every Kitchen

Pour another tablespoon of oil into the pot. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften slightly. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more. The aroma will tell you it’s ready.

Step 3: Build the Broth

Pour in the broth and canned tomatoes with their juice. Return the browned beef to the pot. Add the dried basil, oregano, thyme, and additional salt and pepper to taste. Stir well.

Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then lower the heat. Cover and let it simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This stage lets the broth absorb the flavors of the herbs and meat.

Step 4: Add the Potatoes

Stir in the diced potatoes. Continue simmering, covered, for another 20 minutes. The potatoes will soften and help thicken the broth slightly.

Step 5: Add the Green Beans

Now add the green beans. Cook for about 15 more minutes, or until all the vegetables and beef are tender.

Step 6: Finish With Corn, Peas, and Parsley

Finally, stir in the frozen corn and peas. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes until heated through. Sprinkle in the fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

Your easy vegetable beef soup is ready to serve.
