Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 medium carrots dimed
  • 6 ounces green beans cut into 1" pieces
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 2 jars Firstade FOND Beef Bone Broth
  • 2 tablespoons lemon about 1 lemon
  • Fresh Parsley (optional) for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat a large pot with a lid over medium high heat. Add the ground beef and brown, breaking it up as you cook. Season with salt and pepper.
  • While the beef is cooking, peel and slice your carrots into 1/2" dimes and cut your green beans into 1" pieces.
  • Remove the ground beef from the pan and drain the excess grease. Add the carrots and green beans to the pot and stir. Saute for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the cooked ground beef and corn to the pot and stir to combine. Carefully pour in the broth, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  • Cover and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Finish with lemon juice, stir, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Ingredient Modifications and Variations

  • Use a different veggie - feel free to sub the carrots, green beans, and/or corn for your veggie of choice! Mushrooms, broccoli, or asparagus would be unique and tasty flavors!
  • Use a different cut of beef - we love the ease and versatility of ground beef, but feel free to swap for beef stew meat, sirloin tips, or chuck roast and increase the simmer time to 30 minutes or longer for more tender meat.
  • Add a starch - add diced potatoes, a cup of rice, or a cup of lentils to the soup for some extra starch if you want an even heartier, balanced soup.

Tips For Success

  • Allow the beef to cook - if you have the time, let your beef cook for about 15 minutes. This will help it start to really brown and caramelize and most of the grease will cook out. This is actually my preferred way to cook ground beef because it produces the best flavor and texture!
  • Use FOND Bone Broth - the use of a super flavorful, premade bone broth helps decrease total hands-on time when making this soup.

Storage, Reheating & Freezing

  • To store - allow the soup to cool, then place in a covered container in the fridge and consume within 5 days.
  • To reheat - pour into a pot on the stove and heat over medium heat until warmed through or place in a microwave safe dish and heat in 60 second increments until warmed throughout.
  • To freeze - all the soup to cool completely, then place in a freezer safe container or freezer bag. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. To defrost, remove the container, portion of soup, or bag to the fridge and allow to defrost overnight.
