Cook time40 min

This hearty, rustic soup is loaded with browned ground beef, tender potatoes, and a colorful mix of carrots, celery, and green beans, all simmered in a rich tomato-beef broth. Smoked paprika, oregano, and thyme give the broth real depth, while a hit of garlic and tomato paste rounds it out into something that tastes like it's been on the stove all day. Everything cooks in one pot, which means minimal cleanup and a broth that only gets better as the vegetables soften and release their flavor. A shower of fresh parsley at the end brightens the whole bowl right before serving. It's a satisfying, produce-packed dinner that fits neatly into a dairy free routine without sacrificing any of that classic, cozy hamburger soup flavor.
