  • 2cupschopped red potatoes
  • 1 ½cups1-inch cut fresh green beans
  • 1 ½cupsfrozen yellow corn kernels, thawed
  • 1(14.5 ounce) candiced tomatoes, drained

  • Directions

    Heat a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and cook ground beef until browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add onion and celery and cook, stirring, until onion is soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

    Pour in beef stock and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil and add carrots.

    Tie parsley, rosemary, thyme, and sage together into a bundle with cooking twine and add to the pot. Add bay leaf and season soup with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for about 10 minutes.

    Increase heat to medium and add potatoes, green beans, corn, and drained tomatoes. Return soup to a boil, partially with a lid so steam can still escape, and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, about 25 minutes. Remove herb bundle and bay leaf and discard. Adjust salt and pepper, if needed.



    Cook's Note:

    To create a stew-like gravy, dissolve 2 tablespoons cornstarch in 1/4 cup water to make a slurry. Sitr until there are no lumps. Add to the bubbling soup, stirring rapidly, until the liquid is slightly thickened.
