Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 stalks celery, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 lb Yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 can green beans, drained (about 14.5 oz)
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 can diced tomatoes with juices (about 14.5 oz)
  • 1 can black-eyed peas, drained (about 15 oz)
  • 1 can corn, drained (about 15 oz)
  • 4–6 cups beef broth

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and celery, sautéing until they become soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  2. Brown the beef: Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it apart as it cooks. Continue cooking until no pink remains and the meat is fully browned.
  3. Add remaining ingredients: Stir in diced potatoes, carrots, green beans, tomato paste, diced tomatoes with their juices, black-eyed peas, corn, and all seasonings including Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Pour in 4 cups of beef broth to start.
  4. Simmer the soup: Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and let simmer for 14-16 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the flavors meld together.
  5. Adjust and serve: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to your preference. Add additional beef broth if a thinner consistency is desired. Serve hot with your favorite toppings or garnishes.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • For spicier soup, add a pinch of cayenne or more chili powder.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Add fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro as garnish for extra freshness.
  • Beef broth can be replaced with vegetable broth for a slightly different flavor profile.
