Tips and Tricks
Maximizing Flavor
For deeper flavors, brown the beef and onions thoroughly. Letting the meat develop a good sear before adding the other ingredients can enhance the overall taste of the soup.
Consistency Control
If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the water by one or two cups. Conversely, for a more broth-like consistency, add extra water as needed during cooking.
Vegetable Variations
Feel free to swap out or add different vegetables based on your preference or what’s in season. Fresh carrots, green beans, or peas can be great additions.
Spice Customization
Adjust the seasoning to your liking. If you enjoy a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
Preparing in Advance
This soup tastes even better the next day. Prepare it a day ahead and refrigerate it overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.
Freezing Leftovers
This soup freezes well. Portion it into airtight containers and freeze for up to three months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat on the stove for a quick meal.
Potatoes Prep
To keep the potatoes from turning brown while you prepare the other ingredients, place them in a bowl of cold water after cutting. Drain before adding to the soup.
Enhancing Umami
Add a small amount of Worcestershire sauce or a beef bouillon cube to deepen the umami flavor profile of the soup.

Ingredients
- 2 pounds lean ground beef
- 1 onion peeled and diced
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1 envelope (1½ ounce) onion soup mix
- 6 cups water more to desired consistency
- 1 can (8 ounce) tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 can (15 ounce) diced tomatoes undrained
- 1 can (15 ounce) corn drained
- 1 cup celery sliced
- ¼ cup celery leaves coarsely chopped
- 1 cup potatoes peeled and cut into small cubes
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables

Instructions
- In a large pot, cook the ground beef and onion together.
- If there's extra fat, drain it off.
- Add pepper, oregano, basil, seasoned salt, and onion soup mix to the pot.
- Pour in water, tomato sauce, and soy sauce. Stir everything together.
- Heat the pot until the mixture starts to boil. Then, turn down the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
- Now, add diced tomatoes, corn, celery, potatoes, and frozen vegetables to the pot.
- Bring the mixture to a boil again. After it starts boiling, lower the heat and let it cook without a cover until the potatoes are soft, which should take about 30 minutes. If it looks like it needs more water, add some.
