Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup wide egg noodles
- 1 cup frozen peas
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot with the beef. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Pour in the beef broth and add the diced tomatoes (with their juice). Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the cubed potatoes to the pot. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Stir in the egg noodles and frozen peas. Cook uncovered for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the noodles are done.
- Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed before serving hot.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce when you add the broth.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the simmering soup during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- This recipe works well in a slow cooker; cook on low for 6-8 hours after browning the beef and sautéing the initial vegetables.
