Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks, or more to taste

  • 4 large carrots, chopped, or more to taste

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • ½ stalk celery with leaves, diced

  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley

  • 1 tablespoon dried basil

  • 1 tablespoon beef bouillon powder

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 8 cups water, or as needed

  • 1 pound lean ground beef

Directions

  1. Combine potatoes, carrots, onion, celery, garlic, parsley, basil, bouillon, salt, and pepper in a large soup pot. Fill the pot with enough water to cover. Cover the pot and bring to a boil; cook until vegetables begin to soften, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat.

  2. Crumble in ground beef, a little at a time, stirring between additions. Return to heat and bring back to a boil. Reduce heat and cook at a simmer until vegetables are cooked through and meat is no longer pink, 15 to 20 minutes.

Recipe Tips

You can use 1/2 a large bag of baby carrots, diced, instead of large carrots.

The celery leaves add flavor to the soup.
