Savory Whole30 Beef & Veggie Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• A touch of ghee for a rich flavor
• Generous amount of 95%-lean ground beef
• Season to taste with salt and ground black pepper
• Chopped yellow onion for depth of flavor
• Minced garlic for aromatic goodness
• Cubed russet potatoes ready for cooking
• Carrots chopped for added color and sweetness
• Bone broth in two large cartons for nourishing base
• Tomato paste to enhance the richness
• Dried basil to add a hint of earthy goodness
• Dried oregano for a touch of Mediterranean flair
• Chopped cabbage for a hearty texture
• Smoked sea salt for a flavorful twist (optional)
• Sliced zucchini for a fresh addition
• Chopped green beans to complete the dish

Step 1

In a large stew pot over medium-high heat, melt 1 teaspoon of flavorful ghee until it glistens. Toss in the ground beef, season it with a pinch of salt and pepper, and sauté until it transforms into a delectable brown crumble, around 5 to 7 minutes. Once done, plate the beef, leaving behind the savory drippings in the pot.

Step 2

Next, introduce the onion and garlic to the pot, perhaps drizzling a bit more ghee if the pot seems dry. Sauté until the onion becomes tender and translucent, which should take about 5 minutes. Combine this aromatic mix with the beef for a flavor boost.

Step 3

Now, it's time to add the potatoes to the pot, allowing them to soak up the leftover goodness. Season with a dash of salt and pepper, and cook for a few minutes. Toss in the carrots, giving them a quick sauté for an added burst of color and flavor. Reunite the beef, onions, and garlic in the pot and mix everything together harmoniously.

Step 4

Pour in the nourishing bone broth, dollop in the tomato paste, and sprinkle in the fragrant basil and oregano. Let the pot bubble with excitement. Toss in the cabbage and let it simmer gently for 5 minutes.

Step 5

To elevate the dish, add a touch of smoked salt, then taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. Introduce the zucchini and green beans, allowing them to simmer until they reach a delightful tenderness, which should take around 3 to 5 minutes.
