Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
10 ounces Mirepoix blend vegetables onions, celery, carrots
14.5 ounces tomatoes diced
15 ounces tomato sauce
1 teaspoon basil or Italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
1 bay leaf
16 ounces mixed vegetables
2 to 4 cups beef stock
¾ pounds potatoes cut into bite-size pieces

Instructions

In a large stockpot over medium heat, sauté ground beef and the onion, celery, carrot vegetable mixture until the beef is browned and the vegetables are soft.
Add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 20 minutes until the potatoes are soft when pierced with a fork.
Adjust the amount of beef stock for the desired stew/soup consistency. For a stew-like consistency, use less stock and simmer uncovered. To maintain a thinner soup, use more stock and simmer with the lid on.
Garnish with a bit of fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

Note: The quantity of beef stock you use will depend on whether you want this dish to turn out more like a stew with a thicker texture or thinner like a soup.

Note: This easy hamburger stew recipe makes a great freezer meal. Double the batch for a quick dinner you can heat up on a busy night.

Note: The beef broth liquid in the soup will evaporate as it simmers. For more broth, be sure to cover the simmering soup with a lid. There are lots of hearty flavors in the soup, and it doesn’t need to simmer for a really long time for the flavors to blend, just enough to cook the vegetables.
