Paleo Vegetable Beef Soup

I was never a huge fan of vegetable soup growing up. But this recipe is SO hearty and tasty. I love it! 

I have made this twice in 3 weeks-- once in the crockpot and once on the stovetop. 

Ingredients: 

2 lbs. lean ground beef 

1/2 white onion, chopped 

3-4 stalks of celery, chopped

3-4 large carrots, peeled and chopped 

2 white potatoes, peeled and chopped 

1 T. minced garlic 

2 cans of tomato sauce 

1 can Rotel 

1 can beef broth 

1 can green beans, drained 

1 T. Worcestershire

1 T. chili powder 

1 T. balsamic vinegar 

Italian seasoning 

salt 

pepper 

Cook this all on low in a crockpot for as many hours as you need to! I think mine cooked about 10-12 hours.  Add all ingredients raw, including beef! I love to cook it this way-- flavor is incredible! 

However if you need it done more quickly, use this stovetop method: 

1. Brown your beef

2. Add chopped onion, celery, carrots, potatoes, and garlic. Stir occasionally until they begin to soften. 

3. Add all canned goods and seasoning. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer for a couple hours. Add broth as needed to thin! 

** You could also add corn or diced tomatoes if you want!
