1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper
1 tsp each of onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning
1 TBSP minced garlic
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup of celery chopped
2 TBSP Worcestershire
14.5 oz can diced tomatoes

Make Beef Vegetable Soup

To start making the soup, start by chopping one cup of carrots and one cup of celery. Go ahead and chop an onion.

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add one pound of ground beef and the chopped onion. Cook until browned and drain as much grease as you can from the beef.

I have had a gray 6.5 Quart Tramontina Dutch Oven for years and love it! Check it out in red on amazon here (This is my amazon affiliate/commission-able link).

Add all of the seasonings, carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Stir around for a few minutes.

Next, add the drained green beans, drained corn, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and the chicken broth. Stir everything together well. Bring the soup to a quick boil.

Turn the heat down to low and let simmer until carrots are cooked through. This cooked for about 30 minutes on low.

While waiting on the carrots to cook, bring a pot of water to a boil. cook 2 cups of pasta and drain.

Next, go ahead and add a big handful or two of fresh spinach to the soup. You can also use a couple of handfuls of frozen spinach. If you don’t like the spinach cooked down as much wait to add the spinach until right before serving.

Add the cooked pasta to the soup once the carrots are tender. Stir well.

Serve Beef Vegetable Soup

It’s time to eat! Top the bowls of soup with Parmesan cheese and serve. I like having some kind of bread with this soup! Jimmy John’s day old bread goes great sliced up with the soup.

Some garlic bread or bread sticks would also be so good!

The great thing about this recipe is that you can really use any vegetables you have! Fresh, canned, or frozen veggies will work. Sometimes we also add potatoes or cabbage instead of the pasta depending on what we have on hand.
