Instructions
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
- Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until onions are translucent.
- Pour in beef broth and diced tomatoes with their juice. Stir to combine.
- Add carrots, celery, green beans, corn, peas, and diced potato to the pot.

Notes
For a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot and stir. You can substitute ground beef with stew meat for chunkier texture. Leftovers taste even better the next day.
