Instructions
1. Cook the Ground Beef, Onion, and Garlic
In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef with the diced onion and minced garlic until the meat is no longer pink and the onions are soft.
2. Season with Salt and Pepper
Add salt and pepper to taste, stirring well to ensure the flavors are evenly incorporated.
3. Add Broth, Tomatoes, and Tomato Soup
Pour in the beef broth, diced tomatoes, condensed tomato soup, and Worcestershire sauce. The tomatoes add a pleasant tang that brightens the soup.
4. Add Worcestershire Sauce and Italian Seasoning
Boost the flavor by mixing in the Worcestershire sauce and Italian seasoning, giving the soup added depth and aroma.
5. Add Frozen Vegetables and Potatoes
Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and diced potatoes. The vegetables add convenience and color, while the potatoes give the soup extra heartiness.
6. Bring to a Boil and Simmer
Bring the soup to a boil, then cover, reduce the heat, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. This gives the potatoes time to soften and allows all the flavors to blend beautifully.
