Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 2 tablespoons dried parsley
• 1 tablespoon dried basil
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• water as needed
• 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks, or more to taste
• 4 large carrots, chopped, or more to taste
• 1 tablespoon beef bouillon powder
• 0.5 stalk celery with leaves, diced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine potatoes, carrots, onion, celery, garlic, parsley, basil, bouillon, salt, and pepper in a large soup pot. Fill pot with enough water to cover ingredients. Cover and boil until all ingredients begin to soften, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat so you do not burn your hands.

Step 2

Crumble in uncooked ground beef, a little at a time, stirring to mix a few times. Return to heat and bring back to a boil. Simmer on low to medium heat until all vegetables are cooked through and meat is no longer pink, 15 to 20 minutes.
