Instructions
STOVE TOP INSTRUCTIONS
Add the ground beef and onion to a large soup pot over medium-high heat and cook until the beef has browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, salt and pepper and stir and cook just until the garlic becomes fragrant, about one minute
Add the chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, mixed veggies and potatoes to the pan and stir to combine.
Bring the heat to high and let it come to a boil before reducing the heat to medium and letting it simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes become soft.
Add more salt to taste then serve with freshly minced parsley for garnish if desired.
SLOW COOKER INSTRUCTIONS
Add the ground beef and onion to a large skillet over medium heat and cook until the beef has browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the cooked beef along with all of the remaining ingredients to a 6-quart or larger slow cooker.
Stir the soup to combine, cover with a lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
INSTANT POT INSTRUCTIONS
Add the ground beef and onion to the instant pot on saute mode. Cook, stirring constantly until beef is browned.
Turn the instant pot off and add all remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
Place the lid on the pot and set the valve to sealing.
Cook the soup on manual, high pressure for 5 minutes. One the cooking time is up do a quick release, carefully remove the lid and serve.
Notes
NOTE ON SEASONINGS: I use onion, garlic, salt, and pepper only to season this recipe to really let the beef and veggie flavors shine through. You can add in any additional seasonings you want. Basil, oregano, smoked paprika, seasoned salt, or even Italian seasoning are good. If you like a kick, add some red pepper flakes!NOTE ON STORING: This soup freezes really well! Make sure you let it cool all the way, then you can store in airtight freezer save containers or bags for up to 3 months. Just thaw overnight and reheat on the stove gently for a few minutes when ready to serve.
